The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 1083, seeks to amend section 14-289b of the general statutes to allow motorcycle operators to ride between lanes of traffic. This practice, commonly referred to as "lane splitting," is already permitted in several other states and countries. The intent behind this legislation is to alleviate traffic congestion by enabling motorcyclists to navigate through slower-moving or stopped vehicles.

The bill introduces new legal language that explicitly permits this operation for motorcycle riders, while there are no deletions from the current law noted in the text. By facilitating lane splitting, the bill aims to improve traffic flow and enhance the safety and efficiency of motorcycle travel on roadways.
