Explanation
On a three-lane expressway, speeds vary by lane, and each lane serves a specific purpose. The right-hand lane is used for slower driving-at or near the minimum posted speed - and for entering or exiting the expressway. The middle lane is typically for through traffic, while the far-left lane is intended for passing vehicles when you’re traveling faster than the flow of traffic. You may change lanes when necessary, but avoid weaving in and out of traffic. Frequent lane changes increase the risk of a collision and rarely help you reach your destination any faster.
