SF699 (Legislative Session 94 (2025-2026))
Commercial vehicles prohibition from driving in the left lane
AI Generated Summary
The legislative bill SF No. 699 proposes that on highways with multiple lanes, commercial vehicles (like trucks) should not drive in the leftmost (or "fast") lane. They are allowed to use this lane only for passing other vehicles, or to move out of the way for emergency vehicles. If a commercial vehicle driver does not follow this rule, it would be considered a petty misdemeanor, which is a minor legal offense. This change would be added to the existing Minnesota traffic laws under Section 169.18.
