The best transition to connect the claim to the counterclaim in the provided text is "Admittedly." Here’s how it fits:

People who want to travel the fastest on a highway during times of heavy traffic is normal traffic. But in a traffic jam, most people have a tendency to move left, should stay in the far right lane. Admittedly, the right lane is the slowest when there resulting in more slowdowns and congestion in the left-most lanes.

"Admittedly" acknowledges the counterclaim that the right lane is indeed the slowest, while still connecting it to the previous discussion about lane choices in traffic.
