Re: Train was going 80MPH in 30MPH zone

In the case of an entrance lane becoming an exit lane, or a lane leaving the highway, the location of the stop is actually irrelevant. If you stop at the earliest point, you're blocking traffic behind you from being able to find a place to merge, although you are opening the lane to exiters. If you merge later, you might block an early exiter, but you also allow someone else behind you to find a gap that wasn't available to you.

The solution is to look for someone signaling an exit and yield to them, then use the resulting gap. Even if the asshole behind them accelerates into the gap, there's a new gap behind them. This requires that cars actually signal their exits. Cars should be able to detect turns and lane changes and if you fail to signal, should give you a really annoying error sound.
