SYDNEY'S motorbike riders will be able to "lane filter" with impunity under a road safety trial.
It is illegal in NSW for motorbikes to overtake slow or stopped cars by weaving between lanes, but the practice will be permitted in some inner Sydney streets during a two-month trial to see whether it can safely help ease congestion.
The trial in March-April will be monitored by the CBD Motorcycle Response Team.
The Centre for Road Safety's General Manager, Marg Prendergast, said the trial will test the benefits to Sydney's traffic flow.
"This trial needs to take place to ensure it improves traffic flow while not jeopardising road safety for all road users," Ms Prendergast said in a statement on Wednesday.
The exemption means motorcyclists will be able to ride past stopped vehicles at specifically chosen intersections, travelling within the lane, on the lane line and/or into the next lane.
They won't be able to filter when there is moving traffic, bus lines or intersection queues.
The practice will be allowed on Sydney roads including George Street, Hickson Road, Sussex Street, Market Street, St James Road and Macquarie Street.
Lane filtering will remain banned on the Cahill Expressway, Western Distributor and Harbour Bridge.
The findings of the trial will be released later in the year.
