A new law in Arizona allowing motorcyclists to 'lane filter' is designed to keep riders safe. Learn more about how it will work when it goes into effect this weekend

TUCSON, Ariz. — For motorcyclists in Arizona, there's a new law that aims to help keep them safe. The law, which goes into effect on Sept 24, allows lane filtering. Lane filtering allows the motorcyclist to get ahead of traffic by riding between stopped cars at a stop light.This is different from lane splitting, which happens when a motorcyclist speeds between moving cars. Lane splitting is not allowed by this law.

"Lane splitting is where cars are constantly moving and it doesn't matter what rate of speed," he said."With me being a new rider, I don’t have enough confidence yet to get on the streets," she said."That way there’s no chance of the motorcycle being rear ended because it's a safety thing," Shaw said."Like when someone behind me is not paying attention due to cell phone use which is something I see all the time on the road.

"There are motorcycles that go over plus 100 miles per hour which I think is very unnecessary,” Hathaway said.
