New Jersey's left lane law is ideal. And they enforce it...
I've seen numerous motorists in NJ, even those driving around the speed limit, pulled over by state troopers for left lane camping.
What many people don't realize is that the left lane is the PASSING lane - that means one is to get out of that lane at the first available opportunity, even if that means driving temporarily above the speed limit...
One can debate the legality of exceeding the speed limit slightly (ie. around 10 or so) when passing - the laws vary on this...
The reality is the police, especially in highly congested areas, often don't mind a little speeding by a motorist seeking to pass and promptly get out of the left lane; to keep traffic moving smoothly.
