On a road with two or more lanes traveling in your direction, which lane is generally intended for slower traffic and exiting?

On a multilane road, the right lane is generally for slower-moving traffic and for vehicles preparing to exit or turn right, while the left lane is used for passing and faster traffic. Slower drivers should keep right so faster traffic can pass on the left, and many jurisdictions require yielding the left lane to overtaking vehicles. Staying right except to pass improves traffic flow and reduces conflict. Drivers should choose their lane based on their speed relative to traffic and their intended maneuvers. Knowing the purpose of each lane is a basic lane-positioning concept.
