AN ACT RELATING TO MOTOR AND OTHER VEHICLES -- PASSING, USE OF LANES, AND RULES OF THE ROAD

HB 5658 permits motorcycles to legally split lanes between stopped or slow-moving vehicles under specific conditions. It allows this practice only when traffic moves at or below 10 mph, motorcycles stay within 10 mph of traffic speed, and highways have posted speed limits over 50 mph. The bill requires motorcycle operators to merge back into traffic once flow speeds increase and includes a sunset provision ending the law on January 31, 2026. This directly affects motorcycle riders operating on qualifying highways during low-speed traffic conditions. The legislation is temporary, set to expire without renewal after 2026.
