Motorcyclists on roads in Victoria will soon be able to legally weave through traffic, also known as lane filtering, after a change to road laws.

From November 2, motorcyclists can travel at speeds of up to 30 kilometres per hour through stationary or slow-moving traffic, including at traffic lights.

Premier Daniel Andrews said the move would increase road safety and reduce congestion.

"It's important to listen to the experts on these things and do everything we can to make sure that our roads are as safe as possible," he said.

Presently, riders who lane filter are at risk of committing an offence under a number of Victorian Road Safety Road Rules.

Victoria's Minister for Roads and Road Safety Luke Donnellan welcomed the move.

"Motorbike and scooter riders can now move ahead of slow or stationary traffic with confidence that they are not breaking the law," he said.

However, the new lane filtering measures do not permit lane splitting which happens when motorcycles travel between moving traffic at high speed.

This is currently unlawful due to safety reasons.

VicRoads will conduct a public awareness campaign to inform motorists about the new laws.

The Government consulted the community on the changes, with a meeting in June and over 1,000 online survey responses.
