...

I have seen signs on some three-lane highways that explain:
 
                PASSING | TRAVEL | TRAVEL 
                  LANE  |  LANE  |  LANE 


I think the award for the most driving signs in New England
should go to the Maine Pike.  They must have a sign every 5
miles giving driving advise like "Make sure your tire are
safe",  "dim headlights when meeting cars", etc.
