   Clue: Harry: I live in one of the biggest metro areas of the country   
   and I can keep right except to pass. Why can't you?   
      
   When I go through downtown chicago on I90/94 I am usually to the left   
   as I am coming out of or going into the reversibles, however I've done   
   so many times on the right oh and get this... there are ramps on the   
   LEFT AND RIGHT there. I did it just fine before half the ramps on the   
   left were removed too.
