Summary
The recent article explains that the passing lane—the leftmost lane on a multi-lane highway—is meant strictly for overtaking slower vehicles. After passing, drivers are expected to return to the right lane rather than cruise in the passing lane. Additionally, the article clarifies that using the passing lane does not allow you to exceed the posted speed limit. In short, passing lanes should be used temporarily to pass, not for continuous driving or speeding.
