Could lane filtering make Michigan roads safer?

Lane filtering—where motorcyclists move to the front of stopped traffic at lights—is gaining traction in several states, and there’s growing talk about whether Michigan should follow suit. Unlike lane splitting (riding between moving cars), lane filtering only happens when traffic is stopped, and research suggests it could actually reduce rear-end crashes for riders. Right now, both practices are illegal here, but with states like California and Arizona seeing positive results, some Michigan riders are pushing for change. Would you feel safer sharing the road if lane filtering was allowed, or does it sound risky? Let’s hear your take! #Transportation #MichiganRoads #MotorcycleSafety
