So here's the question- are there that many more cars going NB instead of SB? The reason I ask is the both have just 1 lane to get off Memorial, but SB doesn't backup unless somebody is trying to push their way into the NB exit lane. Going SB there isn't the option to get in at the last moment; so it just flows.

I really think the cause of the issue is that people push their way in at the end, which causes the slowdown, which means more people try to get in later, which backs it up further, and causes more people to try and get in later, etc.
