For example, when driving to Manhattan via the Battery tunnel, there are many drivers that drive in teh 2 left lanes that are for the tunnel so that they can cut to the head of the bridge line. Not only do they cause a tremendous buildup of traffic to the bridge, but they block the lanes to the tunnel too as they wait to cut into the bridge lanes!
It is completely legal for drivers heading towards the Bridge to use the leftmost two lanes UNTIL they reach the SOLID WHITE LINES. They need to merge into the BQE right-lanes BEFORE the lines become solid. Until that point they can drive in the left lanes.
And they don’t cause any buildup of traffic to the bridge. It would be the same traffic regardless. And they don’t block the tunnel lanes. The tunnel lanes move quite smoothly.
