Road types on which a motorcycle may split or filter lanes limited.

HF 3159 amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 169.974, to restrict when motorcycles may split lanes (operate between lanes of traffic) or filter (pass vehicles within the same lane). The bill limits these actions to specific road types, prohibiting them on most roads while allowing exceptions under defined conditions (e.g., low speeds in certain zones). It directly affects motorcycle riders by altering lane-splitting rules and becomes effective July 1, 2025. The amendment updates existing traffic laws without changing the prohibition on lane-splitting in most scenarios.
