Full disclosure, being Sunnyside residents means the construction is 100% to our benefit, but my god it's a disaster right now. The people that put up with that mess every day are saints.

The construction doesn’t bother me, but the way drivers handle the construction is definitely annoying. It wouldn’t even be that bad if people would just drive properly.
I have to admit sometimes I am a dumb dumb that merges early because there is a big gap right beside me and I just can’t be bothered to wait to the end at risk of someone not letting me in. But if someone behind me passes me and just so happens to end up at the end of their lane in a scenario where I’m the one who has to let them in? Then in they go, no trouble.
That seems to be the other side of it. People merge early and then think everyone behind them has to merge somewhere behind them. If you merge early you’re now in the lane that accepts the mergers at the end of the lane, regardless of where in the “line” they were before you merged.
