It is definitely counter intuitive! And I have copied a note from 
Wikipedia.......     Please note that this system of traffic management 
is not in accordance with the laws of many jurisdictions and can, in 
fact, earn one a "failure to yield" or "unsafe merge" citation, as 
continuing traffic always has the right of way.

So...  This system comes from the same agency that gave us the DOT 
registrations for farm trucks.....

I can legally put a 10,000 lb tractor on a 3 axle trailer and pull it 
with a 1/2 ton pickup from coast to coast without  being stopped and 
harassed.    However, if I put that same tractor on a dual wheeled 
tandem gooseneck trailer and pull it with my 1 ton diesel, I cannot 
travel over 150 miles from my home base.......

I have a lot of equipment that I hauled in from other states. Oklahoma 
was so long in becoming settled as a state that we never had a lot of 
industry to leave much in the way of used equipment.   I had to go out 
of state in order to find something affordable.  Now that fuel cost has 
dropped, still can't go due to the regulatory environment...
