Lowriding had been outlawed across the U.S. Now, it’s making a comeback — and nowhere more fashionably than in Albuquerque, thanks to a passionate group of locals.

Today I learned what a suicide lane is, what a wild idea. Turn lanes like that I'm familiar with but I've never heard of it being a passing lane

Oh my god, how were those ever a thing

Ah, yeah I suppose turn lane is more accurate here. I grew up somewhere with the suicide lanes because rural farming highways but not really turn lanes because my town had a single traffic light that people ignored anyway and just used it like a stop sign lol. Never got used to saying turn lane

I always heard it called the “chicken lane” when you had wide roads you were trying to make a left across but couldn’t get all the way over.
