A passing lane (North American English) or overtaking lane (British, Irish and Australian English) is the lane on a multi-lane highway or motorway closest to the center of the road (the central reservation). In some countries, lanes are described as being on the 'inside' or the 'outside' of a road - which one the passing lane is varies.

On Sunday, January 4th, 1914, the Mona Lisa was ceremoniously restored to her rightful place in the Salon CarrÃ©, and Perugia was brought to trial in Florence. Mona missing | the crime | the suspects | Mona's identity. Leonardo's technique | myth of Mona Lisa | Mona's return | timeline.
