Having the signs say "Keep right except to pass" would be more clear, IMO.

So you would prefer the signs that are used in Nova Scotia?

For the most part we use the signs on passing lanes on 100-series and trunk highways. They seem to do the trick though. Lane discipline is excellent here and given our under-built expressway system that is definitely needed.
Here most people stay in the right-lane until they are just within the unsafe braking distance, signal, move over, pass quickly, and the move back over once the car is centred in the rear-view mirror.
