A bill introduced in the Colorado legislature aims to authorize a study of motorcycle lane splitting, which would be conducted by the Colorado Department of Transportation and Colorado State Patrol. via ColetteBordelon

Currently in Colorado, a motorcycle driver cannot pass a vehicle by driving in the same lane or between rows of vehicles, which is known as lane splitting. The study proposed in House Bill 23-1095 would examine allowing motorcycle drivers to practice lane splitting.

Weinberg says the study would look at the pros and cons of legalizing lane splitting, along with safety issues related to allowing it. “Motorcycling is a contentious issue... People are scared that it's going to create more fatalities," said Weinberg. “I certainly don't want that, but even more of a reason to study it."

“There's no arrogance or ego on this one. If it truly comes back and says it's detrimental to the life of Coloradans, I'm gonna kill it myself," said Weinberg.
