Which lane is usually faster?
Which lane is usually faster? The leftmost lane's blockage starts farthest; then the second-to-the-left lane, and the rightmost lanes are always fastest. How come? The conclusion it seems, does not require deep understanding of traffic theory: more cars arrive through fast lanes than through the slow lanes; more cars means more congestion.
Do more accidents happen in the fast lane?
Avoid the fast lane, which is where most highway accidents occur. If you're in the center lane, you have more escape alternatives if someone on the road appears to be about to cause an issue. In addition, if you're driving in the left lane, the highway patrol is more likely to keep a closer check on you.
