Lane discipline is sorely lacking in the U.S., in general. Around here, some decide that it is a nice low stress drive if they get in the left lane and drive, regardless of whether or not they are passing. In crowded situations it would be best to stay out of the right lane. Again, around here, they decide that they should use the right lane for passing while approaching a full entrance ramp. The end result is a lot of abrupt leftward lane shifting that more or less brings all lanes of traffic in the area to a halt. People (drivers) are morons, incapable of thinking even a few seconds ahead or following an efficient course. This will never get better because technology continues to support the de-evolution of the human brain.
