Ghost Ryder and mje Thank this.

Where the speed for trucks on the autobahn is 80 km/h (49.70 MPH)? No thanks.
mje Thanks this. -
These are the winners. The right lane in metro areas, should be called "the merging lane". I really don't care who gets mad at me, I hate slowing down to 30 mph for every on ramp. In LA, the right lane is usually backed up due to the exit ramps being clogged.

mje and Ghost Ryder Thank this.

As for "slow traffic, keep right" what is considered slow traffic? can you keep the speed limit? since the speed limit may be 65 mph that is the upper limit. So if I can keep it between 60-65 and I not considered slow traffic?
Now if I have weight on and I am dogging I will ride the middle on level grade but if I see a big hill coming I will move over. I've even given a shout to truckers if I know I am gonna dog down on a hill so I don't hold them up.mje Thanks this. -
I'll be honest, the best solution would be to get the left lane re-labeled as the "thru traffic" lane, where traffic that doesn't intend to leave the roadway for the next 20+ miles is encouraged to hang out in and stay to the side out of everyone else's way.
I guess I could write to my congressman, cus that's always worksmje, rockee, NavigatorWife and 1 other person Thank this. -
It's not "slow traffic keep right". It's "Keep right except to pass".
