What Lane Should I be in on the Highway?

 

  1. Right Lane

    • Best for slower traffic, merging, or if you’re entering/exiting soon.

    • Ideal if you want to drive at or near the speed limit without passing.

  2. Middle Lane(s)

    • Used for steady-speed travel.

    • Good for drivers maintaining highway speed who don’t need to pass frequently.

  3. Left Lane (Passing Lane)

    • Primarily for passing slower vehicles.

    • Once you pass, move back to the middle or right lane.

    • Avoid lingering here, in many states, it’s illegal to stay in the left lane if you’re not passing.

  4. Tips for Safe Highway Driving

    • Always match the flow of traffic safely.

    • Signal well in advance when changing lanes.

    • Keep a safe following distance (3–4 seconds minimum).

    • Avoid weaving between lanes — it’s dangerous and often illegal.
