Maybe you could answer this question that I have had for years.
I believe every state uses the phrase "keep right except to pass". Then why is it the right lane is almost always the one that endes. Especially passing lanes when going up hills. It lets people get around slow moving vehicles like trucks. And those passing lane areas always end right at the top of the hill and makes the slow truck have to merge into the lane that has all the fast moving cars in it. Why don't they end the fast lane and make those speeders be the ones responsible for merging not the slow moving trucks.

My guess (not the expert), but since the right lane is the one most recent to "open", it would be first to "close". Also, it's normally the right lane that has to merge into the next left lane when a through lane ends if there are no other mitigating circumstances like a left exit, construction, or an accident. The only example I can think of the left lane being merged into a center lane without any of these circumstances is I-78 in the Lehigh Valley right around Exit 60 (PA 309) East bound.
