Boulder's explicit traffic safety signs are the latest fakes on CO roads (cpr.org)

Unrelated rant: I once saw a US traffic sign online that said "If drivers are passing you on your right, you're doing it wrong". I wish those signs were everywhere.

This is the law in Europe, passing on the inside is called 'undertaking' — in the UK if you get caught undertaking 4x in 3 years you lose your license!

It's a shock initially in the US but actually leads to a more relaxed kind of driving. US driving is more like going for a relaxed walk, in Europe it's more like running on a track.

I thought you can pass drivers on each side in the us?

Just because you can does not mean you should.

Typically the leftmost lane is meant to be the passing Lane. If you're in the left lane and getting passed on the right that means you should have moved to the right...

What if you're trying to find an opening to move right, but the safest available space to change lanes is behind the people passing you?

CDOT also encourages people to use more than 6 neurons while driving by posting "CAMP IN THE MOUNTAINS NOT THE LEFT LANE" on most interstates. Driving in CO is a _nightmare_.

The problem with a "put down the phone bitch" sign is it's more likely to prompt taking out a phone for a picture.

In my state you can get pulled over for holding a cell-phone during driving. It looks like Colorado (the state in the article) is starting to enforce this in 2025. [1]

Would another sign say "put up the phone bastard"?

Not sure why women were called out specifically, but I haven't spent much time in Colorado
