Today, I drove over to visit a friend who lives off the Gulf Freeway. I took the Pasadena Freeway to the Loop then got onto the Gulf Freeway. Of course, I am coming over the ramp to get onto Gulf Freeway and it goes to like stopped. This is because the people coming over in the two lane ramp cannot see the sign that shows that the right lane is going to merge into the left. I’m actually sure they see it but just choose to ignore it. If everyone would start merging when they see the sign warning them the lane ends, the traffic probably wouldn’t come to a stop at the final merge.

Why can’t people just pay attention to the signage and do as it shows? This would make driving here so much better. And then when I was trying to go home, there were two lanes going to the Beltway which were clogged by people speeding past the traffic going south on the Gulf Freeway. Just stay in your lane and go with the flow folks, it works!

I guess it’s all the excitement of driving here.
