It is widely accepted that proper lane filter (not lane splitting) provides a much safer environment for riders as well as preventing heat related issues from sitting for long periods of time in the sun such as dehydration and heat stroke. At the bottom of this post is an article written by Full Throttle Law that goes over lane filtering and lane splitting in depth as is pertains to safety and sensibility.
I believe as Nevada continues to grow in some of our larger counties such as Washoe County and Clark County we should move towards a set of laws that provides the safest conditions possible for all motorists especially those that are at high risk such as motorcycles. With this in mind I ask the citizenship of Nevada to try and not consider this as a way for motorcycles to "cut lines" or create problems but quite the opposite in the fact that it creates a safer environment for everyone.
Also, I would like consideration to be given to the fact that motorcycles have on average ten times the power to weight ratio of most cars, even sports cars. This means that motorcycles are highly unlikely to create traffic or congestion as they are able to get up to speed much quicker. This also allows the motorcyclist to create distance between themselves and other vehicles, further providing a safe environment by creating a "cushion zone" around themselves.
I appreciate your time and patience as you read through this post. Please read the article at the bottom by Full Throttle Law if you are still not sure about your stance. Either way you decide to lean we respect your decision and thank you again for your time.

The momentum behind this proposal indicates a clear interest in improving rider safety across our state. This level of engagement provides a strong foundation as we prepare to advocate for these necessary legislative adjustments.

Lane filtering helps save lives. I was almost killed by a driver who was on his phone behind me when traffic came to a complete stop, so I am all for lane filtering.
As a naturalized citizen from the UK I grew up with lane filtering and splitting. In Europe we are generally more safety oriented but filtering is not only a way of life - it is the reason a lot of people have a bike at all - to get through traffic and it’s perfectly harmless.
I will sign the petition. That said I will never do it. I ride my ride and not worth the risk or the few seconds it may save. I have come across way too many smashed and broken bikes and riders by lane filtering/splitting.
With the hot temperatures that we experience across the state, it is asinine to not allow “traffic filtering”. Motorcycles run much hotter than cars and sitting in traffic or at a long light is not only miserable, but damaging to riders and machines. Thank you.
Legally splitting lanes has saved my life in California. It's better for riders, aircooled motorcycles, and cars as traffic slow downs clear faster when vehicles that can move safely do.
Slow and cautious lane filtering can indeed save lives. I am aware of several motorcyclists who have been seriously injured [and two killed] by distracted motorists. I was almost one several years ago.
I personally knew Josh and I want to prevent this from happening to anyone else’s loved one.

It's very difficult to ride an 800lb bike in stop and go traffic or even 5 mph. Besides the fear of hoping the drivers behind you are paying attention. Slow filtering, with the help of drivers moving over to make space is the safest way to go.
