Daily gripe: construction barrier lanes

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.
