I do not know how it is in the rest of the country (betting not much different) but in Michigan this (summer) is the time for construction zones.
What is it about people in construction merge areas? The places before the construction lead to some of the biggest cases of road rage I have seen. People will get into one lane about 5 miles before the construction zone. It is no big deal that they are preparing themselves BUT WHY do the feel they need to impose thier driving habits on everyone else? I still have 5 miles to merge !!! and yet they will swerve over in front of you to keep you from passing. It is like they are the highway enforcer of merge lanes.
This year in Michigan they have signs in some zones that say to stay in both lanes until arriving at the construction zone and then merge appropriately. Guess what... Road enforcer cannot read either !!! (billboard I saw once said "Are you illiterate? Call 1-800 ###-####. Wonder how many calls they got)
Anyway... For all of you who feel that you MUST control everyone around and how they drive, You are making it WORSE !!! It slows down traffic, ticks off others at YOU, and in general makes a great case for escalating road rage.
My advice... Stay in your lane, Quit tailgating (too keep out merging traffic), and just listen to your self help tapes.
