Member Contributer MaxSwell Posted December 19, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted December 19, 2014 I experienced lane filtering for the first time this year heading north out of LA Calif. It was fabulous. So let's try to get this nationally. It will save mc rider lives, reduce traffic congestion, yada, yada. https://petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/allow-motorcycle-lane-sharing-all-public-roads/qP86QbjN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VFR4Lee Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Signed. They have a lot of signatures to go. Don't know it will do any good, but it can't hurt to try. Yes, lane splitting can be very helpful. Don't know I could stop myself doing it if I was riding in another state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Undoubtedly, if the left white house sends it over to the newly right congress, it should fly right through the approval process! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer PairOfAces Posted December 20, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted December 20, 2014 For the "Uninformed"...Traffics laws are the jurisdiction of States. The Federal Government can leverage threatening to withhold Highway funds. In this case I would reason that would be doubtful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer ki-speed Posted December 22, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted December 22, 2014 I've ridden in CA on three different trips (2005, 2006, 2010). It appeared that lane splitting works well there. My feeling is that a lot of the success is do to the public having been exposed to it for many years and they know what to expect. If they started allowing lane splitting here in Texas I would not want to be the one to test the waters for a few years. The results would not be pretty. Ford F-350's side-by-side don't leave much extra room. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
