Is lane splitting legal in Connecticut?
I see a lot of motorcycles lane splitting on the highway. Is that actually allowed?

No—lane splitting is not legal in
Connecticut
and no more than two motorcycles
may occupy a single lane side-by-side.Lane splitting is riding a bicycle or motorcycle between lanes or rows of slow-moving or stopped traffic moving in the same direction. It’s especially dangerous in traffic situations where drivers quickly change lanes. For example, in slow-moving traffic, drivers are apt to change lanes frequently to remain in the fastest-moving lane. If you are riding between the lanes, the driver may not see you as they transition to the adjacent lane, causing you to strike the vehicle.
