I am no left lane camper, but we have mostly 2 lane over congested highways. A third lane is really needed to keep the left completely clear except for passing and thats not happening.

Ugh I take Route 146 to and from work and it’s the WORST for this especially at night.

I feel this pain too. Every night. And its not confined to rush hours either.

I call them “Left Lane Janes”, after my sister-in-law who drives under the speed limit, doesn’t like it when anyone eats in the car, and hangs on to the overhead strap like a subway rider when she’s a passenger.

I drive NJ to RI and back a lot, and have found it’s often faster- especially on 95 in CT, to drive in the extreme right lane..

Adding more lanes doesn't solve congestion.

I understand that adding more and more lanes to a busy highway does not help congestion, but three is really required for proper lane usage and truly having a lane only designated for passing.
