    Left lane being for passing only is pointless if all the slow drivers are in the right lane anyway.

    having a dedicated passing lane dramatically improves traffic flow. It's better for everyone to be going 60 in the right lane and occasionally using the left lane to pass or exit than for everyone to be going 12 in both lanes because a third of the drivers wanted to go 70 in the left lane.

      Plus if you want to go 90 that means you weave in and out of the passing lane which is more fun

        100% That's like 2/3rds the fun of a motorcycle, and keeping the left lane open makes that joy accessible to fuccbois in hot-hatches.

      I'm thinking more about longer interstate trips where the roads aren't too full. Traffic in and out of a city is entirely different.
