PennDOT, your good idea has gone very wrong. As southbound I-476 approaches U.S.1 a third driving lane temporarily opens on the right-hand side for slower traffic to move over and allow other traffic to move unimpeded. That was the idea anyway. In actual practice the right-hand lane is only used by aggressive drivers who try to pass as many vehicles as possible from the right before cutting back in after this 1.1 mile drag strip. There is a simple solution. PennDOT should re-stripe this section to shift the driving lanes to the right and add the third lane as a passing lane on the left. This would be so much safer than encouraging aggressive drivers to pass on the right.
