If I have to pass you on the right you’re getting the bird.

That's a shoulder lane. It's only permissible to use for travel on Sundays and Mondays

Now now... they already can't read... just give em a "bless your heart" and call it a day...

wwwwweeeeelllll@reddit

Chicago has this except it's everyday of the week no restrictions but it's just for ~~ four wheelers~~ buses.

[-]

confusedbystupidity@reddit (OP)

This is only Sunday and Monday due to Californians going back home after the weekend... but then some idiot thought it was ok to bottle neck it at the top of the hill... so if you can avoid it on Sundays and Mondays

Zaniac1273@reddit

Yep! I live in Victorville, and grew up in Barstow. Traffic on southbound 15 coming back from Vegas has always been horrible on Sundays especially, or on holiday Mondays. There are times when I'd go home from Vegas on such days and I'd rather take 95 down through Searchlight and take 40 across from Needles or Fenner instead, since 40 usually isn't as bad. Nipton Rd over to Ivanpah Rd and going through Cima and over to 40 via Kelbaker Rd is also an option I've used multiple times, though the latter is via POV only, since it's not a truck legal route.

I’m going to bet you chose to ignore the other sign. 55mph 3axles or more.

[-]

Zaniac1273@reddit

No, the trucks are all legit in the correct lane. This is southbound I-15, in between Primm and the agricultural checkpoint/chicken coop. The shoulder lane is legal to use on Sundays and Mondays only.

[-]

copper_wing@reddit

That means 70 in American English

[-]

Desperate-Position50@reddit

White Volvo reefers from Chicago are exempt.

[-]

Fuzzy1598@reddit

That's just more of a "suggestion"

[-]

hiplainsdriftless@reddit

Is this as you enter California south of Whiskey Pete’s? I heard they put a chicken coop out there. I have not been in this area since April 2006.

[-]

Zaniac1273@reddit

Yes. They also moved the agricultural checkpoint that used to be just north of Yermo to the same area where the chicken coop is. That shoulder lane is also legal to drive in on Sundays and Mondays.

[-]

Brickman88@reddit

Yes, they did.

They finally noticed that they didn't have anything at the very bottom of that climb up to Mountain Pass, so they fixed that oversight.

[-]

Fit_Hospital2423@reddit

I’m not familiar with the road and I can’t seem to zoom in to where I can read the signs. What is it? A climbing lane for trucks only?

[-]

Riyeko@reddit

Looks to be either i15 or i40 in California.

[-]

Zaniac1273@reddit

Definitely I-15 southbound, between Primm and the Mountain Pass weigh station and agricultural checkpoint.

Shoulder traffic is legal there on Sundays and Mondays

[-]

Low_Development5045@reddit

It's that stretch of i15 between Las Vegas and the Agricultural check point entering California.

[-]

Fit_Hospital2423@reddit

So now I just have to ask…. Why do they allow travel on the shoulder from 10 AM to 8 PM on just Sundays and Mondays?

[-]

Low_Development5045@reddit

It’s probably to accommodate the extra traffic for those days. Lots of people head back home from Las Vegas to SoCal those days.

[-]

Fit_Hospital2423@reddit

Thx

[-]

Fu6uKi@reddit

it's technically a shoulder but it's an open driving lane on Sundays and Mondays during the day

[-]

happy0444@reddit

Yea, Milwaukee could never have something this nice.

[-]

Fit_Hospital2423@reddit

Thx

[-]

49RedCapitalOs@reddit

All I can make out is that it says traffic on shoulder allowed

[-]

Fit_Hospital2423@reddit

Thx

confusedbystupidity@reddit (OP)

For Californians returning home from vegas... its ALWAYS a bad time on Sunday's and Monday's on the 15 and the Cali border...

[-]

Fit_Hospital2423@reddit

That’s fascinating.

[-]

Negative334@reddit

Looks like I15 heading to Cali right after Primm NV

[-]

confusedbystupidity@reddit (OP)

Correct

[-]

Meatbuns66@reddit

English is required?

[-]

confusedbystupidity@reddit (OP)

You can't be serious... how many multi lingual signs have you seen NOT NEAR the Mexican border...

[-]

Meatbuns66@reddit

Im not lol

[-]

Acceptable-Pop-1950@reddit

Yuhp that’s the 15 leaving Las Vegas to California. Says you can drive on the shoulder at certain times. My trainer once said “yes you can drive on it but I’d only drive on it when the lights are flashing.” And I’m like read the sign I don’t think it says light has to be flashing for you to use the lane. traffic ain’t that bad there don’t really matter what lane you use at the end of the day.

[-]

DuckDriver69@reddit

They are all trying to pass the invisible car in the right lane

[-]

couchpatat0@reddit

The right lane is the new fast lane!

[-]

4runner01@reddit

*passing lane

Patient_Walk_1329@reddit

Looks like an idiot utha driver

[-]

confusedbystupidity@reddit (OP)

Hey now... just because they refused to read the posted signs dont make them idiots... they maybe cant read English so good... and then you wonder how they passed not only the citizen test, but also drivers and cdl tests...🤔

[-]

confusedbystupidity@reddit (OP)

Whiskey Pete's is no more... and yes, this is the 15s. WPs it's next up for demolition... Primm is just about dead... surprised they opened Buffalo Bills back up...a couple years ago...

[-]

irrelevantusername16@reddit

Primm will be back they're building a new airport where the golf course was in 2029.

[-]

confusedbystupidity@reddit (OP)

That doesn't sound like a smart thing to do... I mean, I dunno if you remember the landing, in Jean, mowed down to build all them warehouses on the opposite side of the truck inspection...? They just need to update what's there. Its beyond me why primm is on life support but on the border of AZ it's still in good shape.
