Minnesota HF3159 amends motorcycle driving rules, limiting lane splitting and filtering on certain roads.

Minnesota HF3159 amends motorcycle driving rules to limit when and where a motorcycle may split or filter lanes. The bill specifies that motorcycles must ride between lanes of moving or stationary vehicles headed in the same direction, abreast within the same traffic lane, or to overtake or pass another vehicle within the same traffic lane. It prohibits motorcycles from entering a lane of traffic directly when the lane is clear, except under specific conditions. The bill also sets speed limits for overtaking and passing and restricts carrying cargo that obstructs handlebar use.
