I understand what your saying about how human nature effects the situation and, in theory, how things work best. But, if you look at the outcome of this particular scenerio it shows exactly the opposite of what the theory suggests should happen because it mistakenly took human nature into account.
By that I mean human nature, for the majority, seems to be to get into the closed lane and shoot all the way to the front of the line. In the theory, and their mind, there is the assumption that they will be able to simply merge into the traffic that has already gotten over. This is what the theory states should happen, but doesn't because of the variable of human nature, and the resulting traffic jamb of stopped vehicles that now can not simply merge into a moving lane of traffic at speed as the theory suggests should/needs to happen.
With that 'human' variable taken out of the equation due to the incorrect sign, the majority got into the open lane and maintained their speed, while the minority got into the actual closed lane. Due to both less vehicles being in the closed lane needing to get over, the majority of vehicles being in the open lane already, the gaps that always seem to occur between vehicles in open driving conditions due to slight speed differences, and too the fact that the smaller amount of vehicles did not completely fill the closed lane and therefore didn't have to slow down, there were plenty of opportunities for the smaller amount of vehicles to get into the open lane since they never had to go below the posted speed.
If only there was some way for this to be modeled and used all the time without the liability factor involved with giving incorrect information to the the motorists...........
