Last Friday, @katecartwright shared a video on Twitter of a man on the highway holding up a sign that read: "You have your own turning lane. Do not stop."

"The hero we needed but didn't deserve," wrote @katecartwright. And, really, we can't disagree.

Drivers unaware that they can keep driving through their own individual traffic lanes are extremely frustrating, so we appreciate this guy's gentle-ish reminder.

We salute you, traffic guy. Thanks for doing the hard work.
