you said <<every lane on the Interstate is a passing lane. If they were not,
the speed (or lack of same) of left lane traffic would block everyone>>
Actually, that's what I was trying to avoid - when people get in the left
lane (assume 2 lanes in each direction for this case) and drive at the same
speed as a car in the right lane - and they *do* block traffic and long
lines sometimes form. It also makes people impatient and start to do dumb
things like passing on the right or even on the edge of the road. In this
case it appears to be legal to pass on the right.
State laws vary on the legality of passing on the right - here's a listing
of state laws :

It appears to be legal to pass on the right on interstates - or perhaps the
state laws take precedent - which appears to be the case.
Passing on the right on a 2 lane road appears to be illegal in all areas.

...Obviously, when there are 3,4 or more lanes in each direction I'd like
to
see every other lane designated as a passing lane - and when traffic is
extremely heavy, all lanes could be used to keep traffic moving - but
when
it clears out, go back to using the left lane for passing...
Actually, in the States that know what they are doing, every lane on the
Interstate is a passing lane. If they were not, the speed (or lack of
same) of
left lane traffic would block everyone. Did you miss this, somehow?
It's just logic.
