What happened yesterday is there was a long lineup on 52nd street approaching 130th ave as it goes down from 2 lanes to 1. Now that there's the new set of lights there people aren't moving left as early as they try to be in a lead at the lights. (Which in the driving thread we have mentioned why it works better to merge in over time as opposed to right as the lane ends... but I digress)

This morning I did the jerk manuvre and stayed in the right lane on 52 until I was past the lights and merged in. I noticed the line in the left lane wasn't as long this morning, and then alomst everybody was going straight at 130th instead of turning left.

So my guess is everybody who was in the traffic jam yesterday all decided to try the traffic circle instead today. So same traffic jam; just a new location.
