SALEM — Gov. Kate Brown is blocking a bipartisan bill that would allow motorcyclists to ride between lanes when traffic is crawling on Oregon highways. Brown sent a letter to the House and Senate on Wednesday, May 26, informing them of her decision to veto Senate Bill 574; citing concerns about safety by the practice known as “lane splitting” or “lane filtering.” “I have several concerns with the bill as currently drafted, particularly related to public safety and noncompliance,” Brown wrote to Senate President Peter Courtney and House Speaker Tina Kotek. Under SB 574, motorcyclists would have been permitted to travel between lanes on multi-lane highways with a speed limit of at least 50 mph, but only when traffic had slowed to 10 mph or less on those roads. Motorcyclists riding between cars could travel no more than 10 mph faster than the flow of traffic.
