What freaks me out is that spot on westbound 17th avenue, just west of 33rd street, where the lanes veer to the left as the lane numbers get reduced from three to two.
There are so many cars in the left lane who ignore the new markings and go straight, ending up in what is now the right lane. I've seen quite a few near-collisions, sudden braking, etc etc. I'm sure there's been at least a couple of collisions because people aren't capable of following the lane markings.
