safe-driving
On an interstate, which lane should slower traffic normally use?
- The right-hand lane
- The left-hand lane
- The shoulder whenever traffic is heavy
- Any lane selected without signaling
Answer: The right-hand lane. The handbook directs slower interstate traffic to the right-hand lane, except when a driver is passing another vehicle. Staying right gives faster traffic a predictable passing path and reduces abrupt lane changes. The left lane is not the normal place for slower traffic, and the shoulder is reserved for disabled vehicles rather than routine travel. Choosing any lane without signaling ignores the need to communicate and check surrounding traffic. Watch the signs, maintain a steady legal speed, and move left only for a lawful pass.
