While driving on a similar trip a few months ago (I-5 North to LA during = a holiday) I encountered this sort of traffic pattern. There was just = enough traffic for the touristas, and what-all, to justify hanging out in the = one and two lanes, figuring that in traffic, anyone who wants to go much faster = will just have to wait. But the three and four lanes were almost EMPTY. So after awhile, I and = about a dozen others in our area of flow decided we'd had enough. There weren't = overly many entrances and exits, and we developed a flow of about 80 in the far = right lane. The trucks were spaced far enough so not too much lane-changing = was necessary.

The route you mention, I-15, is accessible from around here, but I tend = to avoid it. But I haven't taken it around where you're talking about. I've = heard it's a helluva drive from Barstow to Vegas. Sun-tan lotion time in a = convertible. jl > >I'm aware that some of the New England states are strict about no >passing on the right.
