How do we get this same service on I-10, I-12, and I-110?

Must be to generate revenue. We'll enjoy it while we can because it'll go back to what it was. The LSP did it a few years ago and everything returned to the situation they are concerned about now.

It’s been the law for 30ish years. But the truck don’t follow it because LSP never spends any time, you know…

80 in a 65 is great. I don’t see the problem. If a car behind you is going faster than you, why the frick would you not move over so they can pass ASAP and clear the passing lane for, you know… passing?

Passing lane on slow 60mph bridge is catch 22. Camp or speeding earns ticket.

Right lane saves.

This would be the MOST COMMON SENSE THING EVER...yet, the trucking lobby has bribed ALL of the elected officials AND FHWA admins. to prevent any such COMMON SENSE ! IF, our esteemed 'journalists would only investigate/expose those responsible.....alas...crickets

Agree. I’ve been saying this for years and emailing politicians to no avail. Makes sense when you consider the increased damage and potential for death when a big rig is involved in an mva and the ripple effect of brake slamming when one cuts everyone off in the left lane to slowly pass another one. That’s why i tailgate so they can’t merge over.
