   All you're doing Harry is encouraging right-hand lane passing.   
      
   On a typical three lane interstate, such as I-95, the rules are, keep right   
   except to pass.  The right lane is the main travel lane for outsized vehicles,   
   such as tractor-trailers and buses, and for automobiles and motorcycles   
   **observing the posted    
   speed limits**.   How difficult is that to understand?   
      
   The center lane is for autombiles, cycles, and light trucks who want to travel   
   faster than the trucks in the right-hand lane.  It also serves as passing for   
   large trucks & buses.   
      
   The left-most lane is for automotive/cycle passing - period.   
      
   The key to all the above working is *observing posted speed limits* in the   
   right-most lane.  Drivers getting on should have no trouble merging from   
   on-ramp into that lane if traffic in that lane is AT or slightly BELOW the   
   speed limit.   
      
   Under the Harry K(and o.p.) system everyone getting on said I-95 would have to   
   merge across the right-most lane, risking getting rear-ended by all the other   
   Harry Ks passing on the right at some 60-70mph!
