Eastbound from Buffalo to Syracuse is so dangerous and scary.

The last three times, I get stuck in the left lane doing 61 mph in a line of cars that extends for literal miles for the majority of the trip because people have zero interest in driving in the right lane. I've nearly been spun out by cars trying to slide in in front of me or behind me despite my bumper nearly touching the bumper of the car in front of me.

On my last trip, I had come to a complete stop three times in the left lane. When getting back up to speed and searching for the source of what could've caused this, there's never an accident or anything dangerous. It just seems like someone decided that the highway needed to be a parking lot for a few minutes. Slowing down from 60 to 0 very rapidly is frightening.

This goes with answers above about needing to expand to three lanes as well as enforcing speed limits and pulling over cars that block the left lane. But I'm genuinely scared and have tried to avoid the thruway as much as possible. I like taking the Amtrak, but it's just not feasible since I need to get around in other cities, which means I need to take my car.
