Slower traffic should always move to the right, thus allowing those who want to go faster to pass safely on the left. Not only is this the law in most states, but is common sense as well. Drivers in the left-hand lane go slower because they are often looking for an exit, services, etc. And hence will be going slower. Slower traffic keep right: ODOT approves new signs. “The signs are in support of state law that requires slower drivers to be conscious of passing traffic by moving to the right and impeding. (2) Upon all roadways, any vehicle proceeding at less than the normal speed of traffic at the time and place and under the conditions then existing shall be driven in the right-hand lane then available for traffic or as close as practicable to the right-hand curb or edge of the roadway except when overtaking and passing another vehicle proceeding in the same direction or when preparing for a.

Slower Traffic Keep Right Decals. Printed In Reverse So They Can Read It In Their Rear View Mirrors. Help Us Educate The Slower Drivers. Police in Illinois, Washington, Texas, and Ohio have issued tickets to left lane drivers to get the message across. In doing so, the officials hope to reduce traffic jams and accidents caused by impatient drivers trying to squeeze around slower drivers. Research has shown that lane changes account for as much as 10 percent of highway accidents.

Here are a few simple things we can do to help reduce traffic congestion:

Understand how milliseconds add up to gridlock. Consider these two examples:

Consider an intersection that has a one minute traffic light cycle. Let's say that on average we get 10 cars through the intersection each green light (per lane). Let's say you arrive and there are 30 cars in front of you. This means you will need three traffic light cycles to get through. Now go back in time just 30 minutes. Each person closes the gap in front of them as they go through the intersection by 1/10th of a car length. Now we get 11 cars through every minute instead of just 10 and after 30 minutes we have no one waiting when you arrive at the light.

Most of us don't know how to easily change lanes. Here is a test to see what is meant: You are driving in the right lane and the car in front of you slows down to turn right. You would like to change to the left lane so you don't have to slow down but you can't take your eyes off of the car in front of you. You don't know if the left lane is clear or not and you can't look because you are busy slowing down and trying to not hit the car in front of you. To prevent this from happening in the future you just stay in the left lane. On the highway you also just stay in the left lane because you don't want to deal with merging traffic.

We don't want to get trapped behind some slow person in the right lane while lots of fast people go whizzing past, not letting us back into the left lane.

Some of us believe we are already going too fast and certainly nobody should be going any faster. So there is no reason to let the guy behind us pass.

A similar situation exists where one of the lanes ends 1000 feet or so after the traffic light. To avoid having to merge after the intersection too many people get in the lane that doesn't end before reaching the traffic light. This is done because there is a perception that it is unfair to go in the lane that ends because you get ahead of everybody. Those who are in the lane that doesn't end are rude and make it hard for the ones who are trying to merge after the light. The result is that for much of the time that the light is green we only have one lane's worth of traffic getting through. This inefficiency results in lots of cars piled up waiting to get though the light. Our emotions tell us that nobody should use the lane that ends but logically this won't work. The reason there are two lanes for a short while after the light is so we can get more people through the intersection while the light is green. It makes more sense to go single file after the intersection rather than before.

When you are happily whizzing along in the left lane and someone in the right lane wants to get in front of you so they can pass the even slower person in front of them it makes sense to let them get in front of you, even if it means you will have to go a little slower for a while. The reason for this is simple. One reason people don't keep right is that they don't want to get trapped behind a slow person in the right lane. By allowing people easy access back to the left lane you eliminate that reason. It is unreasonable to expect everyone to get stuck in the right lane so you don't have any inconvenience. The road you are driving on was paid for by all of us.

Courtesy is two way. Suppose you just moved into the left lane to pass some slow vehicle in the right lane. Don't take all day to pass it while cars are accumulating behind you. If you only want to go 1 m.p.h. faster than that slow vehicle consider going 3 m.p.h. faster while you are doing the passing. You will only be going 2 m.p.h. faster than you want for a little while and you will be passing in 1/3 the time. Remember that milliseconds can add up to gridlock.

Try not to let emotions control your driving behavior. Consider that the speeder is making the roads safer for the rest of us. What is the bigger risk while driving on the highway - wrecking or getting a speeding ticket? There are more speeding tickets than wrecks so our biggest worry should be avoiding a speeding ticket. By letting the speeder get ahead of you then that person will get the ticket and you won't.

One reason we 'park' in the left lane is because we want to avoid the situation where a slow merging car appears in front of us and then we have to slow down to keep from hitting it. As mentioned above most of us don't know how to easily change lanes. This can be learned though. The trick is to know if the lane to change into is clear before a slow car appears in front of us. Because it is not always known when that slow car will appear we must always know if the other lane is clear or not. The way to learn this trick is to consciously ask ourselves if the other lane is clear, at all times while we are driving. This initially requires a lot of mental effort and is best done when driving alone. It may take months but the effort is worth it. When you have learned this trick you won't have to consciously ask yourself if the other lane is clear, it will be done unconsciously, all the time.
