Lane splitting: New Arizona law lets motorcyclists share lanes with cars at stoplights - FOX 10 News Phoenix

PHOENIX - Motorcyclists in Arizona will soon be able to ride between lanes in stopped traffic.

Gov. Doug Ducey has signed SB 1273, which allows motorcycle riders to pass a car stopped in the same lane.

The move is only legal if:

• The speed limit is 45 miles per hour
• The motorcycle is not going faster than 15 miles per hour
• The street is divided into at least two lanes with the same direction of travel

Supporters say the law will help riders avoid being sandwiched between two cars or rear-ended.

The bill takes effect 90 days after the legislative session ends.
