A viable approach if you're up for it is a mad frenzy of honking at the driver under question. Works wonders in the Mexico-America border crossings, where folks will try to slip in at the last minute of a 3 hour line.

The locals wont particularly care for you. But they may become incentivized to put up signs, or otherwise disincentivize the activity at an infrastructure-level.




Definitely would have gone for some honking if it wouldn't have been ambiguous who it was at - this was one thing happening on the side of a busy intersection.

Yeah, addressing it at the infrastructure level is definitely the way to go. According to the attendant, the local PD usually physically blocks the lane people were using to cut, but the PD was out to lunch at that moment.

The part I found amazing was that even without the barrier, cutting would require

1) being a massive asshole by design

2) driving so obliviously to your surroundings (immediately visible giant fucking line of waiting cars) that you're being a massive asshole regardless of intent

Idk about the distribution between the two, but either way, yes please to infra-level solutions.
