That's so shitty. I get it if someone is clearly trying to get ahead of everyone and cut in. But if someone genuinely didn't know and has to go that way, come on man.

I think it's more of "you can cause an accident, pay better attention" kind of thing.

There is a somewhat similar situation on GreenTree Rd heading into the West End. It's 2 lanes during high traffic times and the right lane at the blood bank is right-turn only. People just blast through straight in the right turn only lane often, which will cause an accident if the person in the middle (left) lane is obeying traffic signs and going straight as well.

I hate that. I can understand not knowing what lane to be in, because there’s sometimes not much time to see the lights before you have to make a choice, especially if you’re behind a truck. But for goodness sake, if you realize you have to merge, take it slow, and be prepared to stop for cars that are actually in the proper lane.

It's pretty obvious most of the people who are doing it are doing it because they don't want to wait in line in the left lane.
