In Finland, overtaking is only allowed on the left, unless the vehicle ahead is turning left and there’s enough space on the right.

A safe side gap must be kept, ensuring no risk of collision or loss of balance.

Riders must hold a steady line and speed when being overtaken, avoiding unpredictable moves.

In cities that have them, designated motorcycle lanes are restricted to two-wheelers, especially during peak hours.

Solid white lines must not be crossed, even by motorcycles. Lane changes should occur only when permitted by dashed lines.

In some Finnish cities, bus lanes allow motorcycles if a symbol or sign indicates it.

Motorcycle use is not allowed in bicycle-only lanes under Finnish traffic law.

Riders must avoid overtaking on bends, hills, or in fog, where oncoming traffic is not visible.

Filtering is not legal, and motorcyclists may face penalties if caught riding between cars in slow traffic.

Overtaking on the right is only allowed if the vehicle ahead is turning left and there is safe space to pass.

Narrow roads or construction zones require extra lane discipline and no overtaking unless clearly marked.

Motorcyclists must obey all directional lane markings, including those for turning or merging.

It is not safe to pass several vehicles in one maneuver; each must be overtaken legally and safely.

Finnish guidelines recommend at least 1.5 meters lateral clearance when overtaking cyclists.

Lane discipline in roundabouts is important; signal when exiting and don’t change lanes inside.

Motorcycles must hold their lane and yield only if signs or road priority require it.

No-overtaking zones must be respected, even for motorcycles, as they are equally bound by the signs.

Bus + motorcycle shared lanes exist, but use is legal only where indicated by signage.

Motorcyclists must stay within their lane and may not ride onto sidewalks or road shoulders.

You must not stay in a turn-only lane unless turning, as improper lane use can confuse other drivers and lead to traffic violations.

Riders must follow lane arrows and prepare early, changing lanes safely before intersections to match the required direction.

You must allow extra space and ensure clear visibility when overtaking larger vehicles, as wind turbulence and blind spots are greater.

Lane changes are allowed when lines are broken, but motorcyclists must signal and check blind spots before moving.

Even on one-way roads, overtaking should be done on the left, and only when the space and conditions are safe.

You must stay in your lane when “no lane change” signs are posted, often found near intersections or tunnels.

Motorcycles may use central bus lanes only if signs allow it, typically during certain hours or conditions.

In multilane roundabouts, your entry lane must match your exit—left for left-turns, right for right-turns, etc.

In merge zones, use the zipper method and avoid sudden swerves. Motorcycles must alternate like cars.

You may change lanes to avoid hazards, but only if the road markings allow and it’s safe to do so.
