Does left lane = passing lane...

[BCYL]

in the city as well? I know the left lane is the passing lane on the highway, but what about in normal city driving?

 

[Spoooon]

No. I get in whatever lane I need to that makes things easier for me.

Theoretically, maybe, but when you've got people making left turns from the left lane, it makes it unapplicable.

so when driving on the highway and I see a sign that says "Left lane for passing only"...does that mean you're not allowed to drive on that lane unless you want to pass someone on the right lane? (i'm referring to those 2 lane interstate highways outside of the city)

Haven't we rehashed this several times recently?

If you're driving so fast in the left lane that you're passing people, then you're using it for it's intended purpose.
You can drive in it, but you'd have to constantly speed in order not to obstruct others trying to pass behind you.

What part of "Left lane for passing only" do you not understand?

I use highway rules in the city as well.. it's not really the same, but i like to be somewhat uniform .
