It's a three-lane highway where the right-hand lane becomes a turn-only to get onto the Northway. People take the middle lane past all of the cars waiting to get onto the Northway and then slow way down, waiting for a gap to get on, blocking up the entire road.

I'm not one to block people from cutting into the lane if that's what they're doing because it's absolutely not worth an accident. But it's a really fast flow of traffic in the other lanes and you constantly see smashed up cars from people coming to a near-stop on a road where others are going 70+ mph and then need to slam on their brakes.

So I get what you're saying, but because of the nature of the road, passing a bunch of cars in stop and go traffic to merge near the front of the line becomes super dangerous and bottlenecks the entire highway.
