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.

What is 22348C of the California vehicle code?
22348(c) A vehicle subject to Section 22406 shall be driven in a lane designated pursuant to Section 21655, or if a lane has not been so designated, in the right-hand lane for traffic or as close as practicable to the right-hand edge or curb. When overtaking and passing another vehicle proceeding in the same direction, the driver shall use either the designated lane, the lane to the immediate left of the right-hand lane, or the right-hand lane for traffic as permitted under this code. If, however, specific lane or lanes have not been designated on a divided highway having four or more clearly marked lanes for traffic in one direction, a vehicle may also be driven in the lane to the immediate left of the right-hand lane, unless otherwise prohibited under this code. This subdivision does not apply to a driver who is preparing for a left- or right-hand turn or who is in the process of entering into or exiting from a highway or to a driver who is required necessarily to drive in a lane other than the right-hand lane to continue on his or her intended route.
Can you pass on the right when on a three lane highway?
You can, but you shouldn't. Passing on the right is dangerous, and should be avoided, as it causes problems with cars merging into what should be a slower lane, while you are going faster than the normal traffic in that lane. If you wish to pass a car that is in the center lane, go on their left. If the car in the left lane is going slow, wait for them to merge to the right.
Why is it that a traffic accident in the northbound lane will cause a traffic jam in the southbound lane?
There could be several reasons why a traffic accident in a northbound lane will cause a traffic jam in the southbound lane. If the street is only two lanes, traffic in the southbound lane can be interrupted while northbound traffic is let through. The southbound lane may also be closed off to allow emergency vehicles access to the accident scene.
In USA what is the law on merging traffic who has the right of way merging traffic or traffic flow?
In most instances a lane of travel will be marked as the lane that is merging with the other lane or lanes. If so, the lane that is NOT ending has the right of way. When entering a freeway or Interstate roadway, the traffic already on the main lanes of travel has the right of way and the entering traffic has the duty to "merge" safely with the traffic already flowing on the main lanes.
