Then why are you doing it?

There's a stretch of road in our city where the transportation gurus have taken it upon themselves to use lane reversal to try to alleviate some congestion during rush hour. It's an experiment that failed (in my opinion) just due to the fact that the reversal barely gets you going along on extra lanes before you have to merge back into 2 again. Feedback I've gotten says people don't really like it, but it continues to this day. The other day as I was passing through the area, I noticed a subtle irony in the signs that are posted along the route:

"Lane reversal in effect Mon-Fri 15:30-18:30. Expect delays."

Did you catch that last part?
