Passing lane
01
the lane on a road or highway that vehicles use to overtake slower-moving traffic
Example
Drivers should use the passing lane only when they need to overtake slower vehicles ahead of them.
Using the passing lane responsibly helps prevent congestion and promotes safer driving habits on busy highways.
When approaching a slower vehicle, it's courteous to move into the passing lane briefly to overtake and then return to the right lane.
It's important to keep the passing lane clear for faster-moving traffic to maintain a smooth flow of vehicles.
In some countries, there are strict rules about how long you can stay in the passing lane if you're not overtaking another vehicle.
