Unless you drive in Sweden. On 3 lane highways you will regularly see people hog the middle lane for long long times. And while Swedish drivers are generally on average just terrible drivers (fight me on this if you have to, it is true), it is not because they don’t pay attention but because Swedish highways are chaoticly designed.
Does the right lane merge into an exit in a kilometer or not? No one knows, it just randomly happens. Or if you have 3 or more lanes in a city that will go differrent directions at the end, you’d think giving clear signs where each will go at the end very early would be helpful. Not here, lets place those as far back as possible. So people stay middle lane just in case they need to make a switch far right or far left.
It is stupid but won’t ever change because the highways are just set up that way.
Why are you saying that the signs are bad? The signs above the road are pretty clear. Each arrow above the lane points to its destination. I can’t say much about the situation around Stockholm but personally I have never had any issues following directions on the highway.
In and around Gothenburg is where you can make that experience. I don’t have issues either, well not anymore after driving these roads for a few years, I just mentioned the potential reason why a ton of drivers here stay in the middle lane.
