Hey Curt, they still do that at Dunbarton exit, nearly everyone gets
in line. Going the other way, you see a mixed bag, but about 90%
cooperators, SR 237 going onto I680, with about 9% defectors
going in the faster middle lane and about 1% superdefectors, getting
in the fastest left lane, blocking thru traffic and having to cut into
2 lines. The traffic seems more agressive when Im on travel
to similar sized cities outside the Bay area methinks. spike
