Lane Use, Turning & Passing

On a freeway, the far-left lane is generally intended for:

  • A.The slowest vehicles
  • B.Trucks entering from ramps
  • C.Parking during congestion
  • D.Passing or faster-moving through traffic, not for slow cruising that blocks others
Correct answer

D. Passing or faster-moving through traffic, not for slow cruising that blocks others

Why

Slower traffic should keep right so the left lane remains available for passing. Blocking the left lane can cause unsafe passing and tailgating.
