House Bill 1454 amends Tennessee law to allow motorcycle operators to travel between rows of stopped or moving vehicles in the same lane on interstate highways and limited access multilane divided highways, provided that the posted speed limit is fifty miles per hour or more and the speed of traffic is twenty-five miles per hour or less. The motorcycle must have two wheels in contact with the ground and can only operate at a speed no more than ten miles per hour faster than the flow of traffic. Additionally, both the motorcycle operator and adjacent vehicle operators are required to exercise due care and adhere to all traffic laws while this maneuver is being performed.

The bill also establishes that any vehicle other than a motorcycle that attempts to operate between rows of stopped or moving vehicles in the same lane on public roads, streets, or highways will be committing an offense punishable as a Class C misdemeanor. This legislation is set to take effect on July 1, 2023, emphasizing the importance of public safety and the regulation of motorcycle operations on highways.
