"Which Lane is the Right Lane? (A DOTE Initiative)"

🚗 Are you in the right lane—or just the left one? Every driver has an opinion, but lane discipline is more than just personal preference. It’s one of the biggest factors in keeping traffic moving. Whether you’re cruising on a multi-lane freeway, navigating an interchange, or choosing a surface street lane, your lane choice impacts congestion, safety, and the overall flow of traffic more than you might think.

In this episode of Mastering the Commute, we’re tackling lane discipline—and how smarter lane choices can make a bigger difference than any billion-dollar road expansion. Today, we break down:

✅ Why the left lane is for passing—not cruising
✅ How slow drivers in the wrong lane make traffic worse
✅ Why lane discipline prevents unnecessary braking and merging delays
✅ How to pick the correct lane for smoother, faster, and safer driving

📢 Don’t be a lane hog—drive with awareness!
Most drivers don’t even realize they’re in the wrong lane, and that small mistake can cause ripple effects for miles. By choosing the right lane based on road type, speed, and traffic flow, we can make daily commutes smoother without needing to add a single inch of pavement.

🎧 Listen now to learn how you can help fix traffic—one lane at a time.
