Why is the right lane the slow lane since one can, in most places, pass on the right?

Question:
The PA turnpike had this bullshit rule of keeping right pass left only. Still has it in places. Moreover; if the left lane grinds to a crawl for some reason, and you are in the right lane, then most likely youll pass those in the right lane. So doesnt the rule make little sense?

Answers:

Commute time from Vancouver to Portland?

As far as I know, ride right and pass left is the rule everywhere in the U.S.
Theoretically, it would keep traffic moving more smoothely if people would just stay in their lane and let the traffic flow. As for stop and go traffic, if you just stay in your lane, you'll get where you're going.

Why is there such thing as TRAFFIC!?

No. People exit through the right lane that seems faster, but if everyone that wasn't exiting got in the left lane than the idea would work.
