When I drove westbound on the Mass Pike December 24 (i.e. heavy traffic) I
came over the top of a hill and got a good look at traffic patterns for the
next mile or two.  The left lane was most crowded, followed by the middle,
and the right lane was almost empty.  Speed was about the same in all lanes.
I managed to go faster than the rest of traffic for a while by travelling in
the right lane.

All the roads were closed in the 1980s, so people forgot how to drive.
