^ that too, but it's all those left lane exits. What is up with that? It impedes traffic and forces people that want to go slow and get off the highway to move into the passing lane. Other cities don't have left lane exits unless they absolutely have to or if it's a huge interchange.

This is one of several reasons why I HATE I-84 in Connecticut. The left exits are ubiquitous.

Isn't usually caused by old people driving slow or people young or old texting or talking on their cell phones?

Thankfully, in OKC, there's not all that many of them, though one of them, the NW Highway exit off I-44 is kinda crazy, if you're not expecting the sharp curve from not paying attention to the speed sign. I never scrapped my car on the wall. It looks like a lot of people have.

Norman to Edmond in rush hour traffic is awful. I would look in Moore/S OKC area. Moore Public Schools are some of the best around, and there are all kinds of new and very nice neighborhoods in the South OKC/Moore/Norman area.
