I find that on the 401, the biggest problems with traffic flow are created by people who do not get in the right lane when they know full well that their turnoff is coming up. They end up having to cross over 2 lanes in a short period of time and force everyone else to slow down for them. During high traffic hours, this usually ends up causing a complete stop on the highway around those turnoffs.

Or when people wait until the last second to merge causing bottlenecks.
