The Issue
Keep the Left Lane Clear: Ban Semi-Trucks & Slow Drivers from the Left Lane on Missouri Roads
To: Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT), Missouri State Legislature
We, the undersigned, call on Missouri lawmakers and the Missouri Department of Transportation to enact and enforce laws that:
1. Prohibit semi trucks from using the left lane on highways and roads (except when passing or in emergency situations).
2. Require slower-moving vehicles to stay in the right lane unless overtaking another vehicle.
Why This Matters:
• Safety: Semi-trucks in the left lane create dangerous congestion and limit visibility for other drivers.
• Traffic Flow: Left-lane slowdowns cause unnecessary backups and increase road rage incidents.
• Consistency: Many states already have similar laws to improve highway efficiency and reduce accidents.
We urge Missouri officials to prioritize road safety and traffic efficiency by implementing these changes.
Sign this petition if you support keeping Missouri highways safer and more efficient for all drivers.
