Was there a lot of traffic in the through lanes?

Assholes do things like use the "freeway only" lanes to bypass long
lines of people who are doing the right thing, and then try to force
their way in at the last possible moment - stopping dead and blocking
the lane, if necessary.

These are the same assholes who, when actually on the freeway, will
duck out into the acceleration lane in order to sneak ahead by a few
carlengths, and then stop dead with their signal on, blocking everyone
who is trying to exit.
