I was driving I-75 south a few years ago.
At the end of a long day in Cincinnati they had four lanes merge into one on a Sunday.
It took about 2.5 hours to get through, that because people would not yield and pushed ahead. Jerks.
The semi drivers started blocking multiple lanes and restoring order.
There were a couple workers walking around the work zone but that was it. Three lanes could have been kept open.
The highway opened back up to 4 lanes and everyone did 90mph.
Then 5 miles later the exact same thing happened. Four into one.
Another 2.5 hour chaos cluster.
They should have just kept it one single lane the entire time. Keep the flow.
Something is better than nothing.
Even grandma doing ten below in her prius holding up the road would have been a blessing.
