This might be a good place to mention a related hazzard. When they scrape off the asphalt in one lane but not the other, it leaves a shelf between the lanes. You should NEVER try to cross a shelf like that if it is parallel to your direction of travel; it can throw you off in several different ways, depending on speed and angle of attack. You should stay in your lane until the shelf ends or until you can slow down to walking speed and cross it closer to 90 degrees.
