More than 1,400 people have signed a petition for Gov. Nathan Deal to legalize lane splitting, which is when motorcycles travel in between cars along the lane markers.

Researchers at University of California, Berkeley published a 2015 study that found lane splitting can reduce traffic and injuries.
