Maybe it's just me and isolated instances, but whenever I've been driving or riding in a car in the mid-West and you come upon a lane ending due to construction or just narrowing the highway drivers seem to fall into line as soon as they see the first sign advising them to do so. Traffic barely slows and everything flows smoothly.
On the East coast it's a race in the left lane to beat everyone to the cut-off, they fly by each other in the lane that's getting merged down only to cut over at the last possible second, slowing and stopping traffic and generally f'in everything up. Every now and then I get the "enforcer" urge when I'm by myself and usually when I'm driving a truck, to straddle two lanes just to drive the offenders apoplectic.
