I wonder if some sort of system which kept left lane users in that lane for extended periods of times would work. Example, there is a half km opening going south at memorial for downtown users to get into the left lane if they wish. after the half km opening, something similar to those tall skinny pylons force the driver to stay in that lane until just after the anderson exit. At this point, everything opens up naturally as it would with the current structure.
All large trucks also banned from using this lane.
It seems to me this would keep at least 1 lane moving and give those people heading south a "easy lane" without having cars cut in and out of whatever lane appears to be moving fastest at the time. It would also filter out all the south traffic from the other 2 lanes which will allow for easier exits before anderson.
