How easy/possible is it to live in Huntsville, TX without a car?

The right lane is the slower lane because big rigs have a speed limit of 55 mph. the speed limit for cars is 65. My dad drives these big trucks and they carry 80,000 pounds at times. they really can't go that fast. These trucks use the first and second lane only. thats why its the slower lanes. u can expect big rigs on them

How many hours does it take to get from New York City to Detroit via greyhound bus?

There used to be a lot of 2 lane high ways. So if you wanted to pass someone you had to go into the other lane on the left to pass.
Now we have a lot of freeways and if you want to slow down and get off, you have to be in the right lane, most of the time.

Whats the speed limit on your nearest freeway/expressway/highway?

that's my theory anyway.

Do you not understand...the left lane is for PASSING ONLY!!?

Because when traffic merges off a ramp, cars in the right lane need to be going slower. So the car that is getting off the ramp can merge to the highway safely without getting hit by faster moving cars.
