TECHNICALLY, you may never exceed the speed limit. However - in real life - you will be allowed a certain leeway in order to pass a slower moving vehicle. You may not blow past them at 90 mph but any 'reasonable and prudent' speed increase to get around them will be tolerated - so long as you return to the speed limit after completing the pass.

Can a moped go on the highway?
It sort of depends. Mainly, if it's a 50cc engine, the answer is no, because they are unable to go fast enough to be safe in highway traffic. Also, since 50cc scooter (and mopeds) are typically limited by law to a maximum of 30mph (but can usually go somewhat faster), they are not allowed on anything but secondary streets.Most states require any vehicle to be able to go whatever the posted speed limit is. If the speed limit is faster than 35MPH (the maximum speed for most 50cc scooters), they are illegal on the highway.Some states are more specific: at the entrances to Interstates (and some other highways), there are signs at on-ramps to the highways listing a number of things not permitted on the highway, one of which is "Scooters less then 10hp".Scooters with engine sizes of 150cc or greater, of course, typically have cruising speeds of 50mph or greater, and therefore would be allowed on highways.Read more: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Are motor scooters allowed on highways#ixzz2T883LwnA
What is traffic lane?
This is highly dependent on what kind of roadway you are on, and where you are driving. On two-lane highways in the US, the oncoming traffic lane is used for passing. Most states allow this type of passing outside of urban areas where it is not specifically prohibited. On three-lane highways in the US (not common anymore), the center lane is used for passing but is subject to restrictions (yield to uphill traffic, etc.). On four lane highways which are not freeways, most states allow passing only in the left lane in your direction. On freeways with a center divider and multiple lanes in your direction, most states recommend passing in the left lane but permit it in any lane. Some states do not allow passing on the right. A center lane which is a two-way left turn lane may never be used for passing in nearly all states. A shoulder lane may be used to pass a stopped vehicle when it is safe to do so in most states. There are lots of exceptions to the Uniform Vehicle Code.
When is passing on the right is allowed?
Passing to the right of another vehicle is usually permitted when the vehicle being passed is making a left hand turn. If the turn is proper, the driver should be close to the center line of the road but not over. This, on a standard road, leaves sufficient distance for most vehicles to pass on the right.
