This may come as a surprise to some, but humans cannot read each other’s minds. I know, it sucks, but everyone else in the world doesn’t know how important it is that you get to that place you’re going. Maybe in the future our vehicles will come equipped with some sort of way to signal to other drivers what we need to do. Perhaps some sort of flashing light on the outside of the car that is controlled by a stick on the steering wheel.

Wait a sec, I’m being told that that is a real thing, OK never mind.

Anyway, If someone want to merge, then SIGNAL! Do not rely on some unwritten tradition of interstate travel where the car on the interstate will automatically swing left to get out of the merger’s way. This isn’t the middle of nowhere travel, the volume of traffic on 229 makes that impractical and dangerous. If you need to get over signal, and not just as the tires start to cross the line, turn on the single, give the other cars a second to move, slow down or speed up then get over.
