In the few cases that we see "TRUCKS LEFT LANE ONLY" signs, it is usually because the road has been widened, making use of what might have been a wide shoulder. Sometimes these shoulders do not have the same packing and underlayment of the main driving lanes, so when the road was widened, the outside lanes do not have the same load-carrying capacity as the original lanes. With heavy vehicles, this can cause road collapse and serious accidents. Hense, the need for the signs. The defense lawyers can say that its not their fault because there was a sign posted. Most of us that have been driving for a while know that there is usually a reason for a warning sign, and that it is usually better to pay attention. Many that don't pay attention due to inexperience will never get that experience.
