I saw that sign, I had to slow down to read it. But seriously folks, a "law" like that is going nowhere around here, especially in the nutty season. Unless you're going 20 mph in the left lane no cop in their right mind is gonna give you a ticket and if they wanted to pull you over there would be no room in the right lane. Just think of all the excuses you could use. Oh, and am I the only one concerned about the two school zones on 466?
I say the heck with the sign and, full speed ahead at 40 mph in the left lane because that's as fast as your probably gonna get go on 466 anyway. I'll take my chances and drive the way the situation demands. Like I said before, leave this law for limited access highways. This law won't stop road rage, it will make it worse because the speeders will think they have the law on their side and that's gonna make them even more aggressive.
