- <h1>Left Lane is for Passing, Not Cruising</h1>
-
- <p>
- Greetings fellow drivers of Hampton Roads. 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.
