Why is it illegal to pass someone on the right on the highway in the US? In Canada if there’s a three lane highway which, in my case, isn’t very prominent, there’s really no law that enforces it, it’s more of a respect thing here on two lane highways both ways if someone is going slow in the left lane to go into the right but I’m just curious as to why it’s actually enforced in the US?
A big part of why stop and go traffic happens in the first place is because people don’t follow it. At least on the highway where stoplights aren’t a factor.
I’m just not convinced. It seems like stop and go traffic is caused by having 4 million people all leaving work at the same time while trying to use the same 3 highways. And merging lanes. That causes stop and go traffic as well.
This is why it’s so important for people to follow the rules regarding lane usage in order to achieve as much throughput as possible.
