Motorcycle Lane Filtering Law Now in Effect
A new motorcycle lane filtering law took place on September 24. This law was passed during the most recent legislative session. The new law applies state-wide and allows motorcyclists to split the lanes to ride between and move ahead of other stopped vehicles when certain criteria are met.

To legally lane filter, motorcyclists must be able to safely pass STOPPED motor vehicles traveling the same direction and:

Be riding on a roadway with 2 or more adjacent travel lanes going in the same direction.

Make sure the posted speed limit on the road is 45 MPH or less.

Drive no faster than 15 MPH while riding between STOPPED vehicles.

We want all motorists to drive safely on the roadways and know when laws like this go into effect. We also want all motorists to be respectful of each other and have patience while adjusting to this new traffic law. Lane splitting on freeways remains illegal.
