OKLAHOMA CITY - If you are navigating an Oklahoma freeway, it is now against the law to drive in the left lane, unless you are passing another vehicle. The new regulation took effect today across the Sooner state.
According to the Oklahoma Highway Patrol, the fine for violators can be as high as $235.
“Any step we can take to improve safety on our roadways is worth our collective efforts,” Public Safety Commissioner Michael C. Thompson said. “As we are all well aware from recent events in the news, our roadways are increasingly volatile. It doesn’t take much for a minor traffic disagreement to escalate into a deadly road rage incident with tragic results. I am hopeful this legislation will reduce tension and also result in better access for public safety and first responder officials driving to emergency situations.”
The state installed 234 signs in locations across Oklahoma last week, warning drivers not to impede the left lane.
