You're just giving the old folks yet another excuse as to why they can't obey state laws and move to the right. I've driven it, and yes, concrete roads are shite in LA. Complain to the DOT, and get out of the way.
quote:
§71. Driving on right side of road; exceptions
A. Upon all roadways of sufficient width a vehicle shall be driven upon the right half of the roadway, except as follows:
(1) When overtaking and passing another vehicle proceeding in the same direction under the rules governing such movement, including passing lanes;
(2) When the right half of a roadway is closed to traffic while under construction or repair;
(3) Upon a roadway designated and signposted for one-way traffic.
B.(1)(a) Upon all multilane highways, no vehicle shall be driven in the left-hand lane except when directed otherwise, preparing for a left turn at an intersection or private road or driveway, overtaking or passing another vehicle proceeding in the same direction, or when right-hand lanes are congested; however, no vehicle being driven in the left lane except when directed otherwise or preparing for a left turn at an intersection, private road, or driveway shall impede any other vehicle that is traveling in the same lane and behind that vehicle.

You think anyone cares about the law anymore?

In that construction section, truckers are asked to stay in the left smooth lane. So the normal move over law wouldn’t apply to this construction zone. Also, you shouldn’t be zooming past people going over 60 MPH especially at night when crews are on the road working.

No. We’re not talking about LA or concrete interstate. This is the stretch interstate in MS near Buccees where the asphalt was scraped off and they have the right lane on what was the shoulder. There are abrupt bumps every 30 or 40 ft consistently, as another poster said possibly to aid in drainage.
This is terrible and goes on for miles, and rather endure it, 90% of traffic stays in the left lane.
I agree with you about concrete interstates sucking in LA but this isn’t a matter of neglect on MS’s part. It’s a poor construction process design that’s although temporary, has lasted too long. It makes LA concrete roads feel good by comparison. If they’re going to purposely do that, I can’t fault 90% of drivers that choose to avoid it.
Disclaimer: haven’t driven that was in a couple wks, so maybe it’s finished.
ETA: reading the post above mine, maybe it is fixed because before, trucks were to stay in the left (smooth, no bumps) lane.

It is the left lane for trucks. My dyslexia got the best of me typing the post. I went back and fixed it.
They are still months if not years before they will be done.
Remember this is a Mississippi road bed, not some 6 inches shorter than d!ck asphalt road bed that Louisiana likes to cut corners with and wonder why it is bumpy two months after overlaying it. It is a 18 inches to two feet thick of asphalt on top of a aggregate and dirt raised bed.

We stay left bc the " right" lane in that construction zone is just a shoulder and wasn't designed to be a constant road surface.
The weight of the trucks would break it down much quicker.
