Any vehicle that is traveling at the maximum speed allowed by law cannot be defined as "slow traffic" by law unless it is being overtaken by an emergency vehicle having both visible and audible warning devices activated and traveling no more than 10 miles per hour over the maximum lawful speed.

Vehicles that are traveling less than the maximum speed allowed by law are required to move to the right when overtaken by another vehicle where lanes are provided to allow more than one lane to travel in the same direction.
