You may have noticed a new - sign on I264 today that befuddled or confused you. It went something - along the lines of - </p> - - <blockquote>LEFT LANE IS FOR PASSING NOT CRUISING</blockquote> - - <p> - Believe it or not this has been the law throughout Virginia for years - (<a - href="https://law.lis.virginia.gov/vacode/title46.2/chapter8/section46.2-804/" - >read about it here</a - > - and - <a - href="https://law.lis.virginia.gov/vacode/title46.2/chapter8/section46.2-842.1/" - >here</a - >). The law states you keep right except while passing. In most other - states things work this way but in Virginia, especially around here, the - left lane is treated as a moving, cruising lane. If you're in the left - lane and you've completed a pass please be mindful of the cars behind - you and move back over into the right-hand lane(s) so that other drivers - can do the same. - </p> - - <p> - It's really nice when this is practiced (like I said, I've experienced - it in other states) because you can easily move over when there are slow - vehicles ahead and then continue on your merry way. It reduces - congestion and prevents people from having to pass in the right lane, - which is both annoying and dangerous. Especially since this is typically - the lane cars from entrance and exit ramps are merging with. - </p> - - <p> - Don't forget too that it isn't rude or road-rage-y for someone behind - you to honk their horn or flash their lights if you're moving too slowly - in the passing lane. This is a perfectly polite request to pass you. You - don't set or enforce the speed limit. The correct (and legal) thing to - do, believe it or not, is to move over and slow down to let them pass - you. It's all about safe and sane driving etiquette. If you aren't - actively passing other cars, move on over to the right. It goes a long - way. - </p> - </article> - </body> -</html> |
