Attention asshole:
If MDOT wanted traffic to merge to the right at Orchard Lake Road, they would have put cones, narrowing the roadway, at Orchard Lake Road. But, you see, they didn’t see a need to close the left lane that far west, so instead, they put the cones two miles further east.
Thank you for pointing out that there were sings for miles. I saw the signs. I see them every day. In fact, I’ve seen the signs so many times that I have memorized them. They say “Left Lane Ends. Merge Right Ahead.” … Ahead. In case you’re unclear of the meaning, Ahead is exactly the opposite of “RIGHT FUCKING NOW”.
Now, I understand how frustrating it can be, not moving on the expressway during rush hour after a long day of work. However, if you’d taken the time to look ahead at what was really going on, you’d see that the self-appointed-traffic-director (we’ll call him SATD) in front of me was doing such a good job that there were no cars in front of him, and therefore, no cars trying to squeeze in at the merge point.
So, if SATD was stopping traffic, and there were no cars squeezing at the merge point, then why was your lane not moving? Seems to me, it had nothing to do with the left lane traffic.
