DOTHAN, Ala. (WDNews) – As the month of August comes to a close, motorists are being reminded about the proper use of the left lane on Alabama roadways.
Drivers are urged to use the left lane only in three circumstances: when passing another vehicle, when preparing to make a left turn within two miles, or when operating an authorized emergency vehicle.
Officials also stress that when approaching a stopped emergency vehicle, drivers should either move over to the next lane or slow down to ensure safety.
Authorities ask motorists to be courteous and move back into the right lane after passing to keep traffic flowing smoothly and safely.
