Default Re: Which is the fastest lane in traffic

[ QUOTE ]
When you're in a spot where two lanes merge into one, stay in the lane that's going away for as long as possible til it merges - if you're in the one that doesn't merge away, you're in slowsville - RB

This is true -- but ironically, the cause of the "slowsville" problem is because people like you don't change lanes when they see a sign for a lane merge.

If everyone did that, then there wouldn't be a bottleneck at the exact point where the left lane is closed... instead, people would have gradually merged into the middle lane already, and traffic would move much faster.

*sigh*

I'm a pretty aggressive/[censored] driver in general, but I try not to do things that slow down traffic. This is one of those things.
