Feckin' "Middle of two lanes" queue policers

[NotAllThere]

There's something else zipper approvers like NAT should ponder. Why is it that often when the outside lane is coned off the cones extend back, far beyond the stretch where work is actually in progress or planned, to the previous junction or roundabout?

Obviously the idea is to siphon traffic into a single lane from the outset, knowing that the alternative of a restriction away from the junction would cause more of a bottleneck solely on account of merging cheats, and that rather proves my point.

"Obviously" as used here is a replacement for evidence or argument.

You think you observe something (perhaps once, perhaps everywhere, who knows? there's no data given), come up with a theory for it, and apparently that's proof. The scientific method just passed you by, didn't it.

Luckily we aren't in the US though more and more drivers are starting to have manners like this.

A very British attitude. Manners come before traffic flow and safety. We are British damn it! We will queue!
