Well, someone could show up before rush hour and lie down in the offending lane, clutching a note about the reason for the protest. That person might not enjoy it much, but it >would< get noticed...:-) (A possibly related story: when I took driving lessons a few years back, I had to get onto I-35 from somewhere down around 6th Street. I saw some ominous-looking painted lines in the street, but I followed the flow of traffic across them and onto the Interstate. The instructor said that I had violated a heap of traffic laws -- but that he had never seen anyone successfully make that turn and not violate those laws.) -- "Go to an extreme and then retreat to a more useful position" -- Brian Eno Joe Zitt ...cs.utexas.edu!kvue!zitt!joe (512)450-1916
