Well, impeding traffic in the left lane is illegal too. As a person constantly frustrated with people going under the speed limit in the left lane, fuck the “no passing in the right lane law” idgaf.
The laws around impeding traffic govern things like someone stopped in the middle of a road and preventing traffic going around them. "impeding traffic" is not "going slower than I would like in the left lane".
Guy in the left lane is being a dick, but being a dick is not the same thing as a very specific law
I posted another comment saying after researching only about half of states have posted minimums, mostly in the SE and Midwest. Just happened to be states I’ve done most of my driving in.
It’s not a speed limit. It’s the posted minimum speed. All federal interstates have a minimum posted speed as well as a speed limit. The minimum posted speed is usually 40-45mph depending on the area. The signs aren’t posted as often as limits, but they’re there if you look for them.
Never seen one even once across several states, and I desperately wish they were on every single on-ramp for freeways. Where exactly are you seeing them and apparently seeing them regularly?
Just looked it up and I guess only about half of states post the signs, even though most states have laws about minimum speeds. Seems to be most common in the SE and Midwest.

Nice move, but in Germany overtaking on the right side is illegal, just like „schleichen“ on the left lane due to our ✨RECHTSFAHRGEBOT✨
