    Interstate 85 has a lot of 2 lane mileage on it. Every mile above exit 120 is 2 lane all the way to the state line.

    That is a good question how this law will be handled in that area. Later, QD.

    As I understand it though, 85 is 2 lanes in each direction up there... like a divided 4 lane. Correct or no?

    Yah its total lanes so a 4 lane divided highway or interstate. 2 lanes would be like a highway or state road.

    I thought they always counted the reverse way as well... so a two lane road would be one going one way, and one being the other... so I-85 would be considered a mostly 4 lane interestate.. .would it not?

    According to the GA Drivers' Manual you are correct sir. Ex. One lane going northbound and the other lane southbound.

    From the GA Drivers' Manual: This somewhat clarifies what a TWO-Lane road is.

    How To Pass On A Two-Lane Road
    Wait for a passing zone to begin. A passing zone is indicated by striped lines
    to the right of the center line of the roadway. If the line nearest to your vehicle is solid, you are not in a passing zone. Look ahead along the roadway to determine the length of the passing zone and if there is traffic approaching
    from the opposite direction. You must have sufficient time and space to
    execute your passing maneuver and return your vehicle completely to the right lane before the passing zone ends, before entering an intersection, and before oncoming traffic is within 200 feet of your vehicle.
