Some places are just impossible to deal with. For instance traveling East out of Seattle on I90, and attempting to take the Issaquah exit to Lake Sammamish. The signage for the exit is about a mile west of the exit. The locals know you have to stack up well before the sign. But there are two exits, one for the West Side of Lake Sammamish and one for the East side. It became such a crap show, dealing with people attempting to leap frog, that I'd drive the extra 2 miles past these exits to turn around and take the exit from the East which was clear sailing. That side of the hiway had no commuters cause there aren't any towns on the eastern side. My friends that lived on Lake Sammamish often complained about their hour + wait trying to get through the Western exit. So I pointed out my work-a-round, and it was as if a light had gone on. The direct route is sometimes not the best one. They started using this also, and said it not only saved 40 to 50 minutes, but that when they drove by all the people stuck in line for the Western Exit, it made their whole day happier just by going the extra 4 miles.
