Legislative Update

Lane filtering is allowed in Arizona beginning September 24th.

Where is lane filtering legal in the US?

There are four states that allow lane filtering: Arizona, Hawaii, Montana, and Utah. The rules vary for each state, so it’s important to understand what they are before you travel to these destinations.

How does lane filtering work in Arizona?

The speed limit can’t be greater than 45 mph

The motorcyclist speed can’t exceed 15 mph.

Traffic must be stopped.

To avoid a hook collision with a turning vehicle at an intersection after filtering forward to the intersection, cyclists are taught to either take a position directly in front of the stopped lead vehicle, or stay behind the lead vehicle.
