I don’t understand why more areas, such as Atlanta, don’t use the flex posts between lanes to prevent lane changes - or at least discourage them.

That may also be why people go 40 mph alongside stopped traffic instead of 70 mph… because someone might jump into the lane illegally.

The flex posts would provide more of a barrier and encourage faster driving.

Then you're discouraging revenue generation:  $100 to $250 fines.

At the cost of safety.

<sarcasm>It's amusing that you think safety is a consideration for government.</sarcasm>

In all seriousness, I really do think that some governments believe that most people will follow the rules and not cross the double-white lines; and that the risk of the few people who will cross them is outweighed by the potential revenue from fines.
