I think a bunch of your relatives must live around these parts.
Around here, people are so hard-nosed about the lane they're in that the state has to intervene. It gets so bad that when the state is doing road work that narrows 2 lanes down to 1 lane, they have to put signs up that say "USE BOTH LANES", because otherwise there will be a 5-mile line of people sitting in one lane, refusing to allow anyone in, and trying to block both lanes so that nobody can use the utterly empty pavement beside them. I have never seen anything quite like it since the lemmings video.
I have been in other places where folks use both lanes right up to the construction area, and then take turns moving into the through lane. Works like a champ.
Maybe the state should just say "single lane ahead" and not say which one. Although I guess that might give the self-appointed lane police an aneurysm, which would raise my insurance and don't get me started on that!
