Have you heard about lane filtering for motorcycles? It is now legal in Colorado. What about lane splitting? Lane splitting is NOT legal in Colorado. Filtering and splitting are two different things, and the motoring public needs to understand the rules to ensure everyone's safety on our roadways.
From Colorado State Patrol: Lane filtering is the act of a rider passing a vehicle in the same lane but only when that vehicle and any traffic in adjacent lanes are at a complete stop. Lane splitting is prohibited in Colorado, and it is the act of operating a motorcycle between two rows of moving traffic or stopped traffic traveling in the same direction. It typically involves riding the motorcycle down the painted line dividing the lanes on either side.
One of the biggest differences between lane splitting and lane filtering comes down to the movement of the surrounding vehicles.
Keep your eyes on the road and be aware of what or who is around you.

We heard you, Aurora. The vehicle registration problem is out of control. That’s why APD’s Traffic Section has launched an enforcement operation targeting the following violations:
· No Registration.
· Failure to Register Vehicle Within 90 Days of Residency.
· No License Plates Attached.
· Expired License Plates.
· Expired Temporary Permit.
· Failed to Display Valid Registration.
· Displayed Fictitious/Stolen Plates.
· Legally Inoperable Vehicle (parking violation).
APD’s Motorcycle Enforcement Team began the campaign last week, issuing tickets to 23 motorists for vehicle registration violations. The oldest expired license plate was from August 2021.
The MET Team will conduct enforcement operations on a weekly basis throughout the summer.
Fines for vehicle registration violations range from $15-$75 with applicable surcharges. The fine and surcharge for an expired plate of more than 60 days is $95.50.
A motorist convicted of having fake, suspended, altered or stolen plates is subject to a minimum sentence of 10 days in jail or a $150 fine or both, and a maximum sentence of 90 days in jail or a $300 fine or both.
