Local TV news reported that there will be a HPD task force on Hwy 59/I-69 tomorrow to enforce the "passing in left lane" law.  Texas law says that on roads of two or more lanes, the farthest left lane is for passing only.  Any drivers remaining/driving in the left lane will be ticketed tomorrow.  4951

I left work @ 3 today & the south bound lanes of 59/69 had cops all over them & I saw 4 cars pulled over. Not sure it was left lane huggers or speeders. 4951

@FoFa:  They want to make it very visible, so rush hour is targeted.

@angiekaye: Yes, they can. But on ground-level streets inside the city, it doesn't make sense to enforce it.  They are focusing on major highways and Interstates.@mardigrasman:  I agree.  The TV report said that it's being done to improve traffic, but at rush hour, ALL lanes are full, including the far left lane.  Even if you use it to pass, you may not be able to move back over.Anyway, don't linger in the far left lane tomorrow.

@mm4731:  It actually makes sense for major highways and interstates.  I hate it when I get behind someone that's cruising in the left lane and won't move over so you can pass.

@Retired_Engineer: it'd make more sense if they gave people going 50mph in the fast lane a ticket
 
 
@mm4731: exactly! If you are being passed on both sides, you're in the wrong lane.

@mm4731:  The law essentially says that if you aren't passing someone, you shouldn't be in the left lane.  That would include the idiots going 50 mph in the fast/left lane.
