That's called lane filtering, and it's currently not legal in Virginia:

>In Virginia, two motorcyclists can ride side-by-side in the same lane. However, lane filtering, or the practice of riding a motorcycle between two lanes of stopped traffic, is prohibited. As of February 2022, lawmakers are considering creating a bill to permit lane filtering, but until then, this practice is illegal.Jul 22, 2022

Frustrating thing is, the bill might have a chance of it made it to the floor, but it gets killed in committee every year.

Local delegate Betsy Carr is on the transpo committee. Email her, tell her you’re a Richmonder, and ask her to vote for the bill to allow motorcycle filtering.

The most informative comment getting down voted by the fuckers who drive SUVs and want everyone to be stuck in traffic when they are too.
