SF 910 Minnesota Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

Authorization repeal for motorcyclist to split or filter lanes

SF 910 would repeal the current exception allowing motorcyclists to split or filter between lanes of traffic in Minnesota. It removes the specific provision (Minnesota Statutes § 169.974, subd. 5(g)) that permitted motorcycles to operate between lanes at speeds under 25 mph or up to 15 mph over traffic speed. This change would make lane-splitting fully prohibited for all motorcycle riders statewide, directly affecting motorcycle operators who currently rely on this exception. The bill amends traffic safety statutes to eliminate this specific allowance, aligning motorcycle lane operation with standard traffic lane usage rules. This is a substantive policy change to Minnesota's vehicle code, not a procedural measure.
