Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: A. The left-most lane on a multi-lane highway is primarily for passing or turning left.
In Texas, the left-most lane on a multi-lane highway is generally designated for passing slower vehicles or for drivers preparing to make a left turn. It is not intended for continuous travel.
Why the other options are wrong
- B. This is incorrect; specific lane usage rules exist for safety and traffic flow.
- C. This is incorrect; slow-moving vehicles should use the right-most lane.
- D. This is generally true for slower traffic but not a universal 'must always' for all drivers.
Lane Usage (Multi-lane Highway)
On multi-lane highways in Texas, the left-most lane is typically reserved for passing slower traffic or making left turns. Slower traffic should keep to the right.
- Left lane: passing or left turns.
- Right lanes: through traffic, slower vehicles.
- Promotes smoother traffic flow and safety.
Memory trick: Right for Regular, Left for Leap.
