Drivers who stop and park in lane number two just because lane number one is about to take a popular exit and they didn't feel like waiting their turn in line
There's the reason why the "treatment" wouldn't work. All the drivers would learn is they couldn't do that in Boston. brin 'em back to california, where they can get away with being rude and impatient, and it'd start up all over again.
You have to take away the reward for the bad behavior. The one time I saw this work was at a popular (and highly abused) on-ramp in Saratoga. The CHP posted 4 officers there for 2 weeks of rush hour, and cited anybody doing nasty things like blocking the intersection or forcibly wedging themselves into a lane. The drivers cleaned up their act and it's remained that way half a year later.
Though, I have to admit your way sounds like a whole lot more (sadistic) fun!
