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.)
