What lane should you travel in when you're unable to keep up with traffic flow?

When you are unable to keep up with the traffic flow, traveling in the right lane is the appropriate choice. The right lane is intended for slower-moving vehicles and those that are entering or exiting the roadway. This lane allows other vehicles to pass safely on the left without disrupting the flow of traffic. Maintaining this position helps to ensure that faster-moving traffic can continue at a reasonable pace and reduces the risk of congestion or accidents.

The left lane is generally reserved for overtaking faster vehicles and is not suitable for slower-moving traffic. The center lane may be used for a variety of traffic purposes but is typically not designated specifically for slower vehicles. The emergency lane is meant for stopped vehicles or emergencies, and using it for travel can cause hazards and is typically illegal. By adhering to the right lane when slower, you support a better and safer traffic environment for all road users.
