The Dark Side of Merging

The freeway near my house was recently expanded to three lanes to each direction. This is fantastic. Driving in the morning is much more fun and much faster now. However, there is still one problem: when the three lanes become two again.

Merging lanes is the main bottleneck in traffic, and is a cause for many traffic jams. The freeway I'm talking about is great until a specific interchange, and then traffic slows down. Same spot every day.

Hopefully the road will be expanded soon, so I'll be able to drive all the way without the need to come to a full stop.
