Is passing on two-lane roads a lost art?

In California, it's pretty hard to pass on two-lane roads now. I was just on the Maricopa Highway the other day (CA-33/CA-166) and wanted to pass a slow truck in front of me. Couldn't do it, because there were many other (speeding) trucks coming towards me. When I finally did pass, it was many miles later.

When I make trips to Las Vegas from the S.F. Bay Area, I quite frequently pass slow trucks (and some cars) on CA-46 between I-5 and CA-99 and on CA-58 in the Hinkley area.  Passing on that section of CA-58 will become a distant memory once the new Hinkley Bypass is opened later next year.
