> The inside lane on highways outside of metro areas is now for passing only > in colorado. You will get ticketed. ^^^--- that's how it SHOULD be everywhere, so that when I'm in my van, I can go at a reasonable pace, and when I'm in my rx7, I can zip along. Speaking of which... I was following my dad to the volvo dealership (to drop off my sister's car for servicing[sp?]) and he immediately went to the middle left lane(baltimore 695) and started doing 60mph (the traffic around us was doing 80+mph) causing all but the drivers in the far right lane to zip around us. I did get him to move back over to the right lane, but the damage had been done(micro backup). The point: If you're going to drive the speed limit, even the middle lanes are flowing too fast. So, either go with the flow, or move right. ^.^ That being said, there should be designated speeds for certain lanes. ie, far left is for passing only, then middle left is for people going 10-20 above the speed limit, middle right for those going the speed limit to 10 over, and then the right hand lane for merging and those going under the speed limit. ~this is a big topic of discussion in my family since we regularly embark upon drives to canada(from maryland), and the difference between speed limit and 80mph is 2 extra hours of sleep upon reaching montreal.
