Authorization for motorcyclists to split or filter lanes repealed.
HF 663 repeals Minnesota's previous authorization allowing motorcyclists to split or filter between lanes of traffic. This bill amends traffic laws to prohibit motorcyclists from operating between lanes of moving vehicles or passing within the same lane, except for the limited exception permitting overtaking at low speeds (under 25 mph) when safe. The change directly affects motorcyclists riding in Minnesota, requiring them to stay within a single traffic lane like other vehicles. This policy shift removes a prior allowance and aligns motorcycle operation with standard lane-use rules for motor vehicles.
