Reply to comment by Funkybeatzzz in People who stop because they’ve missed their turn on a rotary- do you realize it’s a circle? by roadtrip-ne

Same with multi lane highways. Only travel in the middle lane(s). Left is for overtaking, then you move over in case someone wants to pass you, otherwise you force them to pass on the right, which itself is illegal as it disrupts the intended flow. And right is for entering/exiting, not blocking people from entering/exiting or overtaking the bags blocking the passing lane... but all this assumes people have read and will obey traffic protocol design. But given then amount of people I've seen pass their test through crying and pity the only bet is to assume everyone on Storrow screams "WHITNESS ME!!!!" as they dodge lanes...

Edit: I've been corrected and will now use the right lanes to pass! Now I can do stupid things LEGALLY!

Your comment on multi-lane highway driving is 100% wrong.

From the Mass Driver’s Manual:

Stay to the right and only use the left lane for passing. On an expressway with three or more lanes in your direction, use the far right lane for slower driving, the middle lane for faster driving, and the far left lane for passing.

Also, match speed of traffic when entering the expressway, don’t stop. You’ll get people hurt or killed.

I could have sworn it was expressly prohibited when I read the manual 20 years ago. I stand corrected and will adjust my passing accordingly!

In other words: If you're getting passed on your right, you are going too slow for your lane and need to move over to the right. And if you want to pass someone, you should not undertake them (on the right) and should pass them on the left.
