I firmly believe it is not a lack of clarity that causes problems, it is inattention. As I said on another thread on this subject, long before open road tolling, drivers would be in the far left lane, and at the last moment have to cut across three lanes of traffic to get to the cash lanes.

Perhaps if this is all too confusing for them, they may not want to be driving at all.
I agree with all you've said here. I wonder if a speed sensor in the new lane could be set up to automatically light up a super bright "DON'T STOP!!" sign when it detects somebody decreasing their speed as though getting ready to stop.
