This is a law I can get behind!

Fines may increase for left-lane campers on N.J. highways
[Link: www.nj.com…]

Part of the reason for “left-lane campers” is because the density of entrance ramps on the right-hand side is such that, for people who are going further than a couple of miles, it’s easier to just sit in the left lane rather than dealing with merging traffic. This happens a lot on I-394 here in Minneapolis, which runs from downtown out to the city’s western limits. There’s multiple exit ramps per mile for the full 10-mile stretch, and you’ll see most people just camp out in the left-hand lane until they get close enough to their exit. I can’t really blame them for it.
