Description
At Texas Ave South (southbound), aka TX-6B, prior to the intersection with Deacon Dr., there are no signs indicating that only the left lane is for the entrance to the freeway (TX-6).
As a result, a lot of drivers are unaware that they are supposed to be in the left lane. They cross the intersection, and see the sign that they are supposed to be in the left lane, while they are in the right one.
As a result (and especially since the left lane is for two directions: left, the freeway entrance, and straight, to continue on the service road), this creates extremely dangerous situation with the cars from the right lane cutting to the left in front of the traffic that continue on the service road.
This happens many times, every day.
Some people do it from bravado, but many people do it due to the lack of the proper signage.
It might be difficult to enforce the rules for the "hot-heads"(although a police giving tickets for this violation, instead of the regular speed traps on Texas near campus, might send the right message).
A proper signage is easier to achieve: put a lane information sign half way between the intersection with Brothers Blvd. and Deacon Dr. And then put signs prohibiting freeway entrance from the right lane.
Please, pass this information to the correct department (TX-DoT?).
