In which lane numbers should lane splitting be performed?

Lane splitting should be performed primarily between lane one and two, which means moving between the first lane (often closest to the curb) and the second lane (next to it). This practice helps motorcyclists navigate through slow or stopped traffic safely. The space between these lanes typically provides a narrower, more controlled area to maneuver, as the vehicles in the adjacent lanes are usually moving at a slower pace, reducing the risk of collision.

Performing lane splitting between lanes one and two contributes to a safer and more efficient flow of traffic, allowing motorcyclists to bypass congestion while minimizing their exposure to potential hazards. It is also essential to recognize that lane splitting is not permitted in every situation; it should be done cautiously and in accordance with applicable laws and guidelines to ensure the safety of both motorcyclists and other road users.
