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.

Parodies of Duchamp's parodic Mona Lisa[edit] 1  Francis Picabia parodied L.H.O.O.Q in 1942 in his annotated Tableau Dada Par Marcel Duchamp (Dadaist Scene for Marcel Duchamp).  Salvador DalÃ­ created his Self Portrait as Mona Lisa in 1954, referencing L.H.O.O.Q. in collaboration with Philippe Halsman. This work incorporated photographs of a wild-eyed DalÃ­ showing his handlebar moustache and a handful of coins.
