This seems to be universal rule, and it worked for me all over the world, except for left side driving countries – but you just need to change left to right and vise versa for those ones. Its amazingly high accuracy started to diminish somewhat in D.C. area recently, but still stays high. There are exceptions to this rule, and if you drive daily somewhere, you know the prevailing traffic pattern for the time of the day. But if you are in an unfamiliar place, it is your best bet to follow this rule while in traffic jam or in heavy traffic.

It sounds pretty simple: right lane is the fastest.

Explanation is pretty easy: average drivers (which are the majority of drivers on the road) prefer to stay in the left lane(s).

Ha! It was just a theory, but now it's true!! I knew this, but didn't know about the rule. But you're right, everyone wants the 'fast' lane.

Be it a fast lane or slow lane, the lanes are constructed only to avoid congestion...

Lanes are constructed not only to avoid congestion but also to avoid accidents by controlling the drivers speed.

We must have a lot of country bumpkins in Arizona our far left lanes are the quickest and our far right lane is for on-coming and off-going traffic which is the slowest in California I do have to agree with you when it comes to the right lane, it was lickity split on there. lololo Very Happy

In the country i live always people tend to choose the right lane and obviously becomes the crowded lane. i always prefer the left lane to ride freely and safely.
