Transportation

SB 1369 allows motorcycle operators to pass vehicles in the same lane or between lanes at speeds no more than 10 mph over traffic flow and not exceeding 25 mph. It explicitly prohibits "lane splitting" (riding between fast-moving vehicles) while permitting "lane filtering" (riding between stopped or slow-moving vehicles). The bill also makes it a minor violation to intentionally impede motorcycles and requires the Missouri Highway Patrol to develop safety guidelines for lane filtering. This directly affects motorcycle riders and other drivers in Missouri by establishing specific operational rules and safety expectations.
