Imagine that you lift into the air all three lanes of a motorway, then without jumbling up their order - you then cross them over the three lanes coming the other way and lay them down again. You now have a much safer and cheaper motorway. The slow lanes are in the centre so that crashes are less serious.
The two hardshoulders are together so that emergency services have more room. You only need one service station in the centre, not two on each side. All that is requires is for ne junction layouts to be designed. The beauty of this system is that you do not need drivers to learn to drive on a different side of the road - driving order has not changed at all. It is just safer, cheaper and better.

Either that, or people enter and exit from the fast lane, which doesn't seem like a very good idea either. |

here in Michigan we all drive like fuckers and pass on the outside anyway. |

The problem is that the slow people on the inside lane will now have no way to get to that lane and no way to get off of it. The way it works now is that the rest of us have to slow down to get off the highway. The slow people will not want to speed up to get off the highway. |
