On highways with multiple lanes in one direction, which lane should trucks primarily occupy?

• A. Leftmost lane
• B. Center lane
• C. Right traffic lane
• D. Any lane

Answer: (C)

On highways with multiple lanes in one direction, the rightmost lane is the one for normal driving, including trucks. Trucks are wide and take longer to accelerate and maneuver, so keeping them in the right lane allows faster vehicles to pass on the left without getting stuck behind a truck. This helps traffic flow more smoothly and reduces the chance of crashes when changing lanes around large vehicles. You should move to the left lanes only to pass and then return to the right once the pass is complete, keeping the right lane as the primary lane for routine driving.
