   **observing the posted

   Try reading for comprehension.  One lane left AND KEEP UP WITH TRAFFIC.  Where   
   do I mention ANYTHING about passing on the right?  One lane left will be as   
   bit faster than the rightmost in most conditions.   
      
   I am talking about congested conditions in a metro environment were   
   exits/exits are closely spaced. On open roads the KRETP works best and is the   
   law in most places.
