Is lane splitting legal in Missouri?

My job is sending me to St. Louis for my next job. While I’m excited about the transfer, I’m going to take a week off and ride my motorcycle from Denver, as my company is paying to ship my stuff and my car. Before I go, I would like to learn more about the state laws. Can I lane split in Missouri?

Congrats on the new position! Oddly, lane splitting is a bit of a gray area in the Show-Me State. While no law prohibits it, no law makes it legal exactly either. To this effect, many Missouri law experts state that lane splitting is either legal or illegal depending on who’s watching.
Some cops may issue you a ticket for a moving violation such as improper lane usage, while other police officers may turn a blind eye. However, the move is dangerous, especially because cars may not be expecting it. Whenever possible, avoid lane splitting in Missouri or in any other state that you pass on your trip.
