I've seen that on I-94 .

I-94 from roughly 116th st. in Wauwatosa to Moorland Ave. (big hill)

Absolutely. So, in Wisconsin we have areas that require you to stay
left and areas that require you to stay right. As much as I'd like
the left lane to myself and others who like to speed, I can't demand
the right to it. So when I'm in the left lane and some pokey is in
front of me, I have to just relax and wait.
