No.
Because dirt bike riders don't ride dirt bikes to ride dirt bikes.
They ride dirt bikes because it's a fun "fuck you" to the normies.
The fact that it's dangerous, illegal and inconvenient is the point. Or at least part of it.
That's the problem with all the people trying to find ways to accommodate the riders. They don't want to be accommodated. They WANT to stand out. It's part of what makes the whole thing fun.
An argument could be made that "well, if we make it safe and boring they'll lose interest". But that assumes effectively being able to get them to go to the place where it is safe and boring. And in case you haven't been paying attention, the the only thing the BPD is effective at is submitting overtime slips.
So... don't waste the time and effort. If we want these folks to stop riding dirt bikes we need to show them that life is better when they don't.

If you’d have told 20 year old me I could ride a dirt bike wherever I wanted through a major city disobeying all traffic laws and suffer no consequences, well, I’d have taken you up on that offer. Because despite how I feel about them now, it certainly looks fun as shit. When people talk about the squeegee boys and finding them alternatives I get it. Not with the 12 o’clock boys, they need consequences.

Right?
The thing that cracks me up, though, is all the suburban pearl clutchers who complain while also buying Harley shit.
