I agree with you Wilpig...

Acceleration Lanes seem to be a thing of the past... People pull onto them and don't accelerate to highway speeds, I've even seen people stop at the bottom, as if the YIELD/MERGE was a STOP signal... tying up traffic and causing accidents.

Here in Atlanta, we have the best thing to cause accidents... Keep Moving Lanes. These are lanes are usually off highway OFF ramps, and they allow you to turn left and KEEP MOVING. They are all posted, with Signage, and people STILL STOP!. I've seen several episodes, where people beep at the stopped morons, and the moron who stopped GET'S OUT OF THE CAR and yells at the guy who beeped!

I'm ready to move to Utah, or South Dakota, just to get away from these stupid people.

Just my 2¢, YMMV.
