Bill Summary

Allows motorcycles to operate between stopped and slow-moving lanes of traffic

AI Summary

This bill allows motorcycles to operate between stopped or slow-moving lanes of traffic, a practice known as "lane filtering." The bill defines "lane filtering" and sets speed limits for when it is permitted. It also prohibits "lane splitting," which is driving a motorcycle between fast-moving lanes of traffic. Additionally, the bill makes it an infraction for a motor vehicle driver to intentionally impede or prevent a motorcycle from lane filtering. The Missouri State Highway Patrol may also develop educational guidelines to ensure the safety of motorcycle operators and other vehicle drivers and passengers when lane filtering is occurring.
