Fewer people were using the shoulders than the normal lanes, and as a result those lanes were moving faster. People in the normal lanes didn't like seeing people pass them, so some of them would pull out into the traffic on the shoulders to block them.
I didn't really want to drive on the shoulders because of the increased risk of picking up nails or screws in my tires or having garbage slung up into my windshield by the car in front of me, but seeing people whizzing by made me start thinking of pulling on out there to make better time. I dropped that idea after seeing a few near misses from white knights pulling out in front of people. You take 6 million people who never go anywhere and don't know how to travel, make them pack up all their shit in a panic and throw them all out onto the same road, you're going to end up with people behaving like children. Shaving half an hour off my trip wasn't worth the risk of antagonizing them further.
