On a multi-lane Ontario highway, slow-moving traffic is required to:
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: B. Keep to the right; faster traffic uses the left lanes for passing
Keeping slower traffic to the right lets faster vehicles pass safely on the left, reducing lane-changing conflicts and collision risk. Sitting in the left lane when you are not passing is both unsafe and a Highway Traffic Act offence.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A.Stay in the leftmost lane to avoid holding up merging trafficThis is the opposite of the rule; left lanes are for passing, not slow-moving traffic.
- C.Alternate between lanes every few kilometresThere is no lane-alternation requirement; the rule is simply that slower traffic keeps right.
- D.Drive on the paved shoulderPaved shoulders are for emergency stops and disabled vehicles, not active driving.
