This topic has certain been in the top of the news cycle recently. Here’s a couple thoughts I have:
1. I think part of the problem is that people use the terms “passing lane” and “fast lane” interchangeably. “Fast lane” implies priority to whoever wants to go the fastest. You should have every right to pass and get back over to the right when you’re done; even if you’re going slightly slower than the guy behind you.
2. Regarding the I-5 North merge from the West Seattle bridge. I’ve always thought it funny that the “illegal to cross double white line” is at the same point in the road that the first signs showing what lanes head in what direction for I-5. I pity the poor fool that doesn’t drive this road every day and has to rely on road signs. People that know what lane they need to be in 1 mile prior to any signage and be pretty ruthless.
