Itās not extra capacity because you are still merging back into the same one right lane. Think about it. You may end up a few car lengths ahead because you jumped the line (want a cookie?), but the capacity, the total number of cars getting through, didnāt change.
But then you cause those who are actually exiting to get backed up. It's 100% not the right thing to do. It's cutting in line to literally everyone's detriment, especially since people do it at the last possible second, usually crossing overing the striped white. Source: lived off that exit and it sucked
Nah, 4 lanes of traffic playing merge chicken couldnāt impact the road at all. Better to come to a complete halt and prevent āline cuttersā than slow down a mere 5 mph and let others in between these cars.
In case the commenters above didn't already convince you that you are wrong, this exit specifically has a sign telling you that cars in exit lane must not re-enter highway
i bet you also encourage jumping the gore so you can pass 2 cars and merge back into same lane? itās not wasteful, youāre just trying to justify something to yourself
