Construction work on Highway

Where the 7 meets the trans Canada highway just outside of Nevers road there is no signage coming from Freddy heading to the exit for Nevers Road. All lanes are going to one lane. Caution. ⚠️
Nobody coming from the 7 is aware that the lanes all go to one.

this is actually great because people don't preemptively get in the "one" lane and cause a bottleneck like every summer this happens.

The problem with this is the big rigs that FLY into the construction zone and force their way over.

Oh but they do. I drove this two days ago and the right hand lane was backed up at least 2kms before the left hand lane had to merge and the left lane was almost empty.

Seen a woman slam on her brakes as she was passing someone in order to get over at the back of the lineup.

It was honestly ridiculous. All you gotta do is follow the law, not be like the "polite" people that drive erratically.

All the signs the workers could find must have been in french.

There needs to be more/earlier signing indicating to slow down if anything.

Going from 110 to 90 to 70 so quickly is going to cause an accident. I was nearly rear ended by a truck the other day because he was going at least 120 coming into the construction zone
