Why do people drive in the left lane on the highway doing 65-70, and refuse to move over into the right lane to let faster cars behind them pass? I wish people understood that the middle lane is for normal driving, left lane for passing, and right lane for taking an upcoming exit. If everyone abided by these simple things, their would be a lot less traffic and accidents.

The office or whoever responsible for that, should mark the roads like that, instead they renumbered the Highways exists!

The renumbering was a federal initiative, get over it. The alternative would have been losing federal highway money and higher local taxes to make up for the federal money loss.

I'm not big on either and I had to look up who Alisha is. The exit renumbering has been complained about numerous times here.

In dumb explanation, RI did the renumbering so they could take money from the federal reserve, and not from Rhode island taxes? BTW how was Alisha?

For a bit of an explanation... https://www.wpri.com/dont-miss/ri-to-renumber-i-95-exits-heres-what-your-new-number-will-be/

While not in any of the articles I quickly looked up, there is financial ramifications to the state if they don't comply. I believe that the state gets some federal money for highway maintenance. I think they risk losing at least part of it if they don't comply.

I can see the appeal of Alisha. No clue how well she plays soccer...
