Otherwise, you end up with one line of traffic for much longer than they intended with the closure.
Now, some wanna be traffic cop decided he would have his truck straddle the center line effectively blocking two lanes of traffic. He started this at the first sign that said 'right lane closed' and did not allow anyone through on the right. Have I entered a zone of different traffic laws?
For reference, i had just come from my Covid 19 vaccine that had two lanes of traffic that eventually merged. The local sheriff actually got on his bullhorn and said 'folks, keep two lanes until the merge' several times. He actually got out of his car and walked up to people to explain it to them.
So, I am fairly certain I am correct, but being in a convertible my only recourse against a truck was yelling at him being an idiot  |
What makes people mad is someone coming from all the way back and cutting in, or the moron who won’t move to the left lane causing back up doing 50 in a 70 zone
