In Massachusetts, the passing lane is any lane that you can squeeze your
car through including the breakdown lane, and even non-paved shoulders.
I have had cars pass me on RT 3 (north of 128) in the median where I was
driving at least above 70.  Also, the minimum speed from Burlington to
Tyngsborough is 70.
