This isn't the prairies or Vancouver or Toronto. Unless you want to float a highway, you'd better be willing to blast rock in order to make another lane. You haven't seen the lineups for the ferries here stretching a mile down the highway after the parking lots fill up. Or sat in the 15th vehicle behind some tourist who never sees the 50 or 60 vehicles behind him that don't seem to have anything else to do than follow him along the highway at a snail's pace on a day where the temperature is in the high 30s. lol Turn on your airconditioning and watch your radiator throw a tantrum. Get some flatlander over here and they go like raped apes down the straight ways, and crawl around any minor curve in the road. So you can't pass them on a corner, and you can't pass them after they floor it on the straightaways. If you get lucky, they pull off for a gutbomb or gas. Then the next thing you know is they're rocketing past you on the straightaways again and dawdling around corners in front of you while the teenager behind you has almost tractor beamed his front bumper to your back bumper at a distance of 2 meters. Or the lady in front of you with a minivan full of kids is tailgating the highboy trailer (the same level as the bottom of her windshield) of the semi in front of her.I'm sure they have the room, what they lack is the volume of traffic that would warrant the cost of twin lanes.
While all that is going on there are a couple miles of traffic behind some other discourteous doorknob going in the other direction so if you do find a dotted line to pass on, it's useless.
Get the idea?
It indicates to me just what it says. To a lot of other people, it might as well not say anything because they don't read it.What does a sign that reads 'slower traffic keep to the right except for passing' indicate?
