You can have the "fast lane" open for speeders AND for those who wish to
pass the semi going 55.

A few comments related to this issue:
Does it make sense to keep the fast lane free only for drivers who want to
exceed the speed limit ?
If you use all lanes then you increase the traffic carrying capacity of the
road as long as you don't have all lanes occupied by drivers travelling
under the speed limit.
