Wonderful!
I think I will spread that video along.

I noticed that a stalled vehicle or accident in one lane at the beginning of an area that usually has a traffic jam smooths out the traffic enormously and actually speeds it up overall, just by slowing down traffic the way on ramp red lights do.

I still think the way to deal with lane "cheaters" is just to put down concrete barriers at the point where the striped line turns solid, so it is simply physically impossible to force one way in at the last moment.
