A new Connecticut law now bans drivers from staying in the far-left lane of highways unless they are passing. The measure is aimed at improving safety and aligning with federal highway rules. State officials say the law gives police clearer authority to ticket drivers who block faster traffic, but enforcement will focus on raising awareness rather than writing tickets. The law also aims to help emergency vehicles move through traffic more easily. Signs reminding drivers to keep right except to pass will soon be installed across the state.
