          Y’all realize they count all the lanes, not just the ones going one direction right? A 3 lane highway is 1 lane each direction and a suicide lane.

            I guess technically it can be a 2+1 highway if you so will, but true.

            Still, anything above 4 lanes is dangerously close to mental illness territory

                I’m not sure what the implication here is to be honest - am I supposed to be the small town man in this scenario?

                  yes. calling more than two lanes each direction being “mental illness” screams “i have never been in a crowd”

                    Right. So I live in an apartment in the capital of my country, where transit moves far more people than the highways ever does.

            1. who is they. They don’t count like that here
            2. if you count like that, your previous point doesn’t stand. In a three lane (1 direction) system you have two passing lanes. Easy. You still return as much to the right (or outside) as possible and sensible under the way you’re driving. For example return to middle of you’re still cruising faster than the lorries in the rightmost (or outermost) lane.

                Wrong again. They are not where I am.
                It is the Richtlinien für die Anlage von Autobahnen (RAA)

                  Which has to comply to a version of the uniform vehicular code if citizens of your country are going to be able to use their extant drivers licenses internationally.

        No, there is only one regular lane in each direction. And if you want to pass you take the second land. The third lane is to pass someone who is passing someone. The forth lane is to pass someone who is passing someone who is passing someone. And so further.

        If there are six lanes, the sixt lane is to pass someone who is passing someone who is passing someone who is passing someone who is passing someone who is driving in the regular lane.

        The speed does not matter.
