| Motorcyclists will be allowed to legally ride between cars on NSW roads from July as part of new measures to ease traffic congestion.
The NSW government on Wednesday became the first state in Australia to legalise the practice of lane filtering following a successful two month trial.
Under the scheme, fully-licensed riders will be able to ride through stationary traffic at speeds up to 30 km/h, but not in school zones, beside kerbs or next to trucks and buses.
Roads minister Duncan Gay said the decision was a common sense solution. Advertisement
“Last year we held a successful trial in Sydney CBD of motorcyclists being exempt from existing lane filtering laws in an attempt to ease road congestion and measure potential safety issues for other road users,” he said.
