The driving lane is the rightmost lane. All other lanes on the left of it are for passing. Do not just cruise in the middle lane. You exacerbate the problem.

No, that is not correct. The rightmost lane is for slower vehicles and exiting. The middle lane is often called the travel lane because it’s the one you’re meant to be in when cruising.

  Yes so then in areas of height limited lanes where there are 3 lanes, a semi-truck can only travel in the middle lane unless exiting or entering? Makes total sense…
  
  I suppose on a 2 lane everyone travels in the left lane, because the right one is to exit and enter too. Yup. No existence of a merging lane designed to get up to the speed of flowing traffic. Nope.

    In areas of height limited lanes, you should follow the directions regarding height restrictions no matter what. That’s common sense. In most states, 2 lane highways treat the left lane as the passing lane and the right lane as the travel lane (though people seem to mostly just travel in the left lane anyway). On a three lane highway, the left lane is for passing, the middle lane is for cruising, and the right lane is for vehicles that are exiting, entering, or otherwise need to go below the speed limit. The right lane should not be used for cruising when there are three or more lanes. Check with triple A if you don’t believe me
