As we stated before, lane splitting is most common in areas with a high population density. Countries such as Thailand, Indonesia, India, and others are well-known for the practice. This is because many of the vehicles in these areas are two-wheeled and smaller, which makes it easier to weave through traffic. In the United States, lane splitting is more common in areas of significant traffic congestion and slow moving traffic. For example, New York City and California are two areas where motorcycle lane splitting is common. Other types of lane usage are common as well, which we explain below.
