Restoring Left Lane Etiquette
Keep Right Except to Pass - More than just a courteous gesture, it is a basic rule of the road. How can freeways and highways operate efficiently when everyone decides to get into the left lane to pass one semi truck. How is it efficient when semi-trucks line up in the middle lane forcing other vehicles to pass on the left wen the right lane goes largely unused. That's not efficient. No wonder we don't have freedom of movement on the freeways, This is congestion that is created by bad driving habits, pure and simple. A little courtesy and respect on the road can go a long way toward reducing travel times, improving flow and reducing congestion, slowdowns, backups and the accidents they cause. We need to move to the right. Some states have taken a more proactive approach to this such as Mississippi which has signs posted everywhere stating "STATE LAW" "Slower Traffic Keep Right" other states have "Keep Right Except to Pass" posted along their multi-lane highways. The truth is something has to change.
