Bill Summary
For legislation to allow lane splitting in the Commonwealth. Transportation.
AI Summary
This bill would allow lane splitting in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Specifically, it would amend the state's laws to permit motorcycles to be driven between rows of stopped or moving vehicles in the same lane, as long as the motorcycle is not driven at a speed of more than 50 miles per hour and not more than 15 miles per hour faster than the speed of the surrounding traffic. This change would provide motorcyclists with an alternative way to navigate congested traffic conditions.
