This does not address my point at all. I agreed that your suggestion would not necessarily negatively impact the total throughput on your route.

My point was that your route does not exist in a vacuum and the utility of the open lane may not be obvious without having the same information available as the traffic engineers who designed the closure.

What you're missing is that the "closing lane" is often designed to be utilized to prevent traffic from backing up into another traffic control device.

While you're "matching speed" with the open lane that's hardly moving- traffic has now backed up into an intersection and caused gridlock on cross streets for miles behind you.

So while "total throughput" on YOUR journey has remained the same you may be causing chaos to the roads around you.

Your best bet is to just assume the traffic engineers who designed the closure know better than you.

This is what always leads me back to arch. I can follow an outdated 12-step guide to installing the software in Debian or I can install it with one command from AUR.

I had to put a password on my bios to get windows 10 to stop messing with my boot order.

Somebody died while driving on a dark road at night. There were no signs or barriers in front of the bridge. Google was warned many times about the deadly hazard.

I'm not saying the liability is all on Google but I think its reasonable to get litigious when someone dies due to obvious negligence. How does this seem frivolous to you?

The US would never base their economy on stolen IP! Except until we stole enough to be #1: https://www.history.com/news/industrial-revolution-spies-europe

Long before the United States began accusing other countries of stealing ideas, the U.S. government encouraged intellectual piracy to catch up with England’s technological advances.

Its cheaper for me to have TV + Internet than just internet.
