To the rules established by the Brazilian Traffic Code (CTB) say what can or cannot be done by drivers and motorcyclists. There are several matters that must be dealt with seriously, as the law is there to prevent accidents of the types that are caused almost daily. One of the most discussed issues, by the way, concerns motorcyclists always being in the “corridor”, that is, walking between cars.
The “corridor” is the space for dividing lanes between vehicles, both on the left and on the right, that is, it is the passage limit between the cars. In Brazilian traffic, it is common to see motorcyclists honking their horns in this space to get a passage. It's not a lane specifically targeted at bikers, but it's a way to “get away” from traffic and get some advantages.

In 2021, CTB ensured that any rule can be changed, without exception. Were there any changes? Look.
In article 56, the possibility of prohibiting motorcyclists from passing through the corridor, however this proposal was not accepted by Jair Bolsonaro (PL), president who was acting in the period. This practice can cause fear in many drivers, since at any moment a motorcycle can appear and be hit, depending on the circumstance. Therefore, moving the motorcycle between cars requires greater attention from everyone.
The ban on passing was not accepted. Therefore, motorcyclists can continue to move in the corridor, as long as they pay extra attention. The same is required of those who drive cars, buses and other vehicles.
Article 192 concerns “keep a safe distance from the side and front” when the motorcycle is circulating in traffic. In this case, traveling through the corridor may be a reason for applying traffic ticket, but this interpretation will be solely up to the transit agent, as there is no established minimum distance for the fine to be applied.
