What this question is testing

The sign is a regulatory sign that tells drivers to keep right unless they are passing. BC's guide says that on a multi-lane highway you should travel in one of the right-hand lanes, especially when you are driving more slowly than other traffic or when signs direct you to keep out of the left lane. Driving at the speed limit does not mean you should continually drive in the left lane. A common mistake is to treat the left lane as an ordinary cruising lane once traffic thins out.
