In the United States, slower traffic it supposed to stay right, so the left lane would be used for passing.

When may you drive in the left lane of a road with two lanes?

Depends on what state your in. In some states the far left lane is used primarily for Emergency Vehicles and a passing lane. In California you can travel in that lane as long as you move to the right if an Emergency Vehicle comes up behind you. According to the Florida handbook, "if the road has 4 or more lanes with two-way traffic, drive in the right lanes except when overtaking or passing." Or when you're carpooling.Overtaking and passing.When passing.When passing slower moving traffic.

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.

Indicate the center of a two-way road used for two-way traffic?

A two lane roadway usually has a yellow dotted line down the center separating traffic lanes. When the line changes to a solid line, it means "No Passing". If the solid line is to the right of center then that lane has a "No Passing" restriction. When there is a double yellow line, there is "No Passing" in either direction.


Which lane should a driver always chose?
