Re: 9th Avenue

I was late for a super important appointment today because of freaking 9th avenue, and its terrible drivers.
2 things:
1. When it says "2 right lanes closed ahead", don't jump into those 2 right lanes just to try to push ahead. I had like 10 people do this. There's no way you're being let in, so wait in the damn line like everyone else. The offenders in this case are too many to name, but my favourite would have to be the Grand Cherokee which was right behind us. It moved into the 2 barren right lanes (because some people actually think ahead and move into the left lanes), went up 2 cars, and budged in without a signal. That's a pathetic advantage.
2. Use your damn signals! Seriously, if you're making a lane change, let the people behind you know so they can slow down to let you in. Don't just move the wheel and expect everyone behind you to know what you're on about. It's even worse when the car is moving over 3 lanes. The winner here would be the 40(ish) year old woman in the black Civic who kept weaving through lanes of traffic without a signal. Back and forth. And repeat.
Anybody been down this hellhole recently?
This is wishful thinking man. I remeber a few weeks ago there was construction on both sides of 9th ave between 2nd Street and First street. How the fuck is that allowed? You take a four lane road, and they took it down to two lanes. This city has some fucked up ideas. Not to mention they took out an entire parkade to build that building across from the old post office.
