Minnesota is now the second state to permit lane splitting for motorcyclists, establishing stricter rules than California. Lane splitting occurs while cars are moving, whereas lane filtering happens between stopped cars. California's law from 2017 permits motorcyclists to split lanes under certain conditions, including speed limits. In Minnesota, lane splitting is allowed at 15 mph over traffic speed, not exceeding 25 mph, and prohibited in specific areas. Other states like Montana and Colorado have similar regulations concerning lane filtering and speed limits for motorcyclists.
Minnesota has become the second state to allow lane splitting by motorcyclists, but with rules substantially tighter than California's.
Lane filtering means motorcyclists can drive between cars that are stopped, while lane splitting is allowed when cars are moving.
Minnesota's law permits motorcyclists to drive between lanes at no more than 15 mph over the speed of other traffic, with a maximum speed of 25 mph.
California's lane splitting law advises that motorcyclists should split lanes only when car traffic is going less than 30 mph.
