Shoutout to this roadside hero for reminding people how to drive

"You have your own turning lane. Do not stop."

We encounter heroes every single day, even if we don't realize it. One such hero: This guy standing on the side of the road holding a homemade sign meant to keep drivers from being the absolute worst.

Last Friday, @katecartwright shared a video on Twitter of a man on the highway holding up a sign that read: "You have your own turning lane. Do not stop."

"The hero we needed but didn't deserve," wrote @katecartwright. And, really, we can't disagree.

Drivers unaware that they can keep driving through their own individual traffic lanes are extremely frustrating, so we appreciate this guy's gentle-ish reminder.

We salute you, traffic guy. Thanks for doing the hard work.
