Tennessee has already restricted all trucks to the right lane... so you've have all the trucks in the right lane... rolling along at the same speed... hm.. isn't that where all the cars need to be to get on and off the interstate?
Anyway, now they want all the CARS there TOO.... um... anyone see a problem? UNLESS traffic demands it... who decides? IF you think the traffic demands it, but the cop doesn't ... guess who wins?
Won't that create even MORE dangerous situations????/
Who thinks up this stuff?
Tennessee bill would limit left-lane use
A bill introduced in the Tennessee Senate is intended to keep most traffic out of the left lane on the state’s multi-lane highways.
Tennessee law now mandates vehicles traveling slower than 55 mph on interstates and four-lane controlled-access highways to stay out of the far left lane. Trucks also are restricted to right lanes on designated areas of highways with three or more lanes in each direction where signage is posted. The only exception is for passing slower vehicles – one at a time.
In an effort to further limit how many vehicles are in the left lane on multi-lane roadways, Sen. Tim Burchett, R-Knoxville, offered a bill to require car and truck drivers to stay to the right. Violators would face fines up to $50.
Vehicles still would be allowed to use the left lane to pass or overtake slower moving vehicles or when traffic flow requires it. Making room for emergency vehicles parked along the roadside also would be allowed.
