I was on a trip yesterday. I came across a section of interstate where the left lane had a barrier wall in it. This lane was made super narrow by this wall. I have two complaints: 1) the government failed to make the contractor re-mark the lanes the way they are supposed to for long-term construction, causing a really untenable condition 2) drivers in the next lane had the old "this is my lane" attitude and did not think that maybe if they slid over even a few inches, they could make the driving conditions a little safer. I did see a few follow this principle, but the vast majority are plain stupid.
