Florida Truck Lane Restrictions
Florida has no statewide truck-lane law, but FDOT posts and enforces 'no trucks in the left lane' on the busy 6-lane corridors - I-95 in South Florida, I-75 up to the Turnpike, I-4 between Kissimmee and Tampa, and Turnpike segments. Disobeying the sign runs about $121 and 3 CDL points (Fla. Stat. 316.074). Watch the signs on the metro interstates.
