Re: “States push to keep highway inner lanes clear for passing,” Nov. 4 news story.

Regarding your article on states cracking down on left-lane slowpokes, thankfully the Colorado Highway Patrol tickets drivers who believe that driving the speed limit in the left lane is legal.

Colorado’s left-lane law states: “A person shall not drive a motor vehicle in the passing lane of a highway if the speed limit is sixty-five miles per hour or more unless such person is passing other motor vehicles that are in a nonpassing lane or turning left, or unless the volume of traffic does not permit the motor vehicle to safely merge into a nonpassing lane.”

To remind drivers, the Colorado Department of Transportation should repeat its warning on overhead signs on Interstate 70: “The left lane is for passing — the right lanes are for normal driving.”
