So, all cars in the far right lane unless they’re passing someone in the far right lane, in which case they should be in the lane that’s second from the right? All other lanes should be empty at all times?
So, you think traffic here would flow better if 4 lanes were completely unused, one lane was only used for passing, and everyone else was in the remaining lane? And you could achieve this without replacing the drivers with robots?
People changing lanes
If everyone stuck to the driving lane and only moved over to pass one car in front of them then there’d be less.
Which one of these is the “driving lane”?
The far right.

Yes, more lanes result in more traffic because there’s more lanes to cut across for each exit.
There are also more lanes for the cars to move forward in.
Doesn’t matter as long as your exits aren’t bleeding into the highway.
