Ah, but on the lower deck the white lines are about two inches away
from big corrugated cement walls, which run out after about 100 feet.
On the lower deck you either grind to a halt and kill someone, or you
merge klutzily and piss people off.  Personally I'd rather piss
someone off than have someone slam into me from behind.
