OK kids, what's wrong with the following image?



If you answered "the car crossing the white line into the other merge lane", you're correct!!!

Meanwhile, look closely. You will see that had he stayed in the correct lane (to the right) and merged correctly within his traffic pattern (only one lane remained), he would have approached the bridge at least 4 or 5 cars ahead of where he ultimately wound up. In our lane he had about two merges to go before the helix.

Silly commuter!

1 near miss, almost rear-ended by one of the guys reading a paper.

He was driving a RED CROSS VEHICLE.

Nice.

The following is a Public Service Announcement to my fellow PIP to GWB commuters:

It's called MERGING.

That huge white line painted between the 3rd and 4th lane is there for a reason. The 4 lanes to the left merge into one lane; the three to the right follow suit. The resulting two lanes proceed like happy little worker ants around the PIP helix, pausing only to merge in the same fashion at the base of the bridge before continuing on their daily commute.

Lather. Rinse. Repeat.
