If my arguments are wrong, they'd be easy to refute. Often the truth of the matter is a bitter pill to swallow. I am not running for political office, so I don't exactly have to be diplomatic in how I put forth my points.

But there already are artificial constraints on the LGB/SP Causeway: speed limits and a middle lane that changes its flow of traffic on set schedules. I'm not disputing the fact that shutting down the middle lane completely is utterly stupid. However, because the middle lane rotates it's flow of traffic based on actual need, it's usually pretty damn predictable to figure out what way is open at any given time of the day. As a result, you should be able to adjust your schedule accordingly. If you're going against the flow of traffic, leave a couple minutes earlier. Or if you're going with the flow, leave on time.
The point I here is that because it's organized, you can plan your required driving time accordingly. You can't plan a trip thinking will I or will I not get stuck behind a pair of trucks going up a hill on Hwy5 (or any other similar type of constraint).
