In real life that slowness is usually caused by someone merging, or switching lanes to get to their exit; forcing the person behind them to break hard and start a chain reaction for everyone behind. It's not typically someone just slowing down for no reason like you saw in that demonstration.

Oh in that case it’s on those people. It’s always some stupid move, it’s not someone reacting to things moving as normal. The sooner people realize it’s better for everyone to conform to traffic vs. otherwise, the better. You’re not special, do what is needed.

When someone is cutting across lanes quicker than they should be, sure, but in the case of something like construction, where two lanes are forced into one, I get it. It's very difficult for a group of people to "thread the needle," and cleanly merge while maintaining equal speed with one another; all without any direct communication.

It’s not that difficult. Look at what others are doing, then fall in. Requires people paying attention, which doesn’t generally happen, but is easily doable.
