Timely message from the New Jersey State Police’s Facebook page today:

[b]“Left Lane = Passing Lane

In New Jersey, the left lane on highways is not for cruising — it’s for passing only. Staying in the left lane when you’re not actively passing other vehicles is not only dangerous, it’s also against the law.

Here’s why it matters:
- Keeps traffic flowing smoothly
- Reduces road rage and aggressive driving
- Lowers the risk of accidents
- Helps emergency vehicles move efficiently

When drivers misuse the left lane, it creates unnecessary congestion and frustration. If you’re not passing, move over — it’s safer for everyone on the road.

Let’s work together to make New Jersey highways safer.

Keep right. Pass left. Drive Smart.”[/b]
Every other state has a similar law on the books.

NP but you're talking about highways. Most of the tailgating I see comes on regular roads. I get it- everyone wants to be going 60 down the 45mph road, but there are cars absolutely everywhere. The left lane isn't a passing lane when there's bumper to bumper traffic in all directions. We can't just have a vacant lane when roads are way over capacity.

The main issue is the amount of traffic lights everywhere. Who can get up to speed when there's a light every 1/4 mile? And none are timed, so you basically hit every single one of them. I think traffic lights increase road rage the most. [/quote]
