A bill under review at the Ohio statehouse would ban trucks from using the far left lane on certain highways.
Current Ohio law requires any vehicle moving at less than the normal speed of traffic to stay to the right. Exceptions to the lane rule are made for preparing to turn or to overtake and pass another vehicle.
The House Transportation, Public Safety and Homeland Security Committee is scheduled to consider a bill on Tuesday, Oct. 15. It would mandate that large vehicles weighing more than 10,000 pounds stay in the two right-hand lanes on stretches of highway with three or more lanes in the same direction.
