PHOENIX (3TV/CBS 5) -- Motorcyclists will soon be able to get by traffic a little faster and possibly avoid more crashes. Gov. Doug Ducey signed SB 1273 (https://www.azleg.gov/legtext/55leg/2R/bills/SB1273S.pdf) on Thursday, which allows motorcycle riders to get along the side of and pass a car that is stopped in the same lane. The law says it will be legal as long as the speed limit for the street is 45 miles per hour or slower, and the motorcyclist doesn’t go faster than 15 miles per hour. The law will take effect 90 days after the Legislature ends this year’s session.

© Provided by KPHO PhoenixA new law was just signed that affects motorcyclists.Advocates say the new law isn’t the same as lane splitting, which allows a motorcycle rider to go between rows of cars that are going at regular speeds. This law allows riders to go to the front of the line at a stoplight so they’re not sandwiched between two cars and can avoid being rear-ended, supporters said. The bill, which was sponsored by Tyler Pace, a Republican from Mesa, passed the Senate 29-0 with someone not voting in February and passed the House 54-4 last week.

When I first moved to California in the mid 80s I was skeptical too. But over time you learn and adjust. Most drivers scoot over and give you room. They see you or hear you coming up and scoot over, that’s nice. Yes there are those who don’t, so as a rider be patient and eventually you can go around them.
The smart car drivers understand that a filtering motorcycle is one less vehicle ahead of them in traffic. The jerk only sees a motorcycle “getting away with something”.
