@fay59 coupled with “speed limits are limits, so passing must be achieved below that limit,” and we arrive at the understanding that the passing lane should almost always be empty.

Which is a kind of weird road design when you think about it.

@cocoaphony not all cars drive the speed limit, and the speed limit is not the same for all vehicles. The I-5 in the Central Valley has a speed limit of 70 for cars and 55 for trucks, and there are many cars not doing 70

@fay59 the worst is people driving below the limit on winding mountain roads who stomp on the gas once they get to the nice straight section … with the passing lane.

@jacquesf picture guy A doing 65 downhill in the passing lane, guy B doing 65 downhill in the other lane, and guy C tailgating guy A hard because there’s no way around both of them. Eventually guy A does pass guy B. Guy C cuts off guy B…so that he can do 65 downhill in his own lane.
