Bill Summary
This act would allow lane filtering, the act of passing stopped or slow-moving vehicles proceeding in the same direction, for motorcycles at low speeds. This act would take effect upon passage.
AI Summary
This bill allows motorcycle riders to engage in "lane filtering," which is defined as passing stopped or slow-moving vehicles traveling in the same direction within the same lane, provided the motorcycle is not exceeding 20 miles per hour and the road lanes are wide enough for safe passage, and conditions allow for reasonable and prudent operation. This new provision will be added to the existing laws governing passing, lane usage, and general rules of the road, and it will become effective immediately upon its passage.
