The first time I took the coach out for a good ride I had the concrete barriers at the automatic IPASS lane on the IL. Tollway squeeze me into the right barrier, It moved just as I was passing through.
I still have not repaired the damage to the front right corner.
For now it serves as a warning to the drivers that just have to drive and stay in my blind spot on the right side. " been there, done that, you may want to think twice about staying there"

Been there at toll booths!!  FWIW far right lanes at toll plazas usually wide load lanes.

Yup, what Tim said--Semis go far right also, mainly for just that reason

Far right at the Kennedy / Ohare airport feeder when coming off the 294 from the north is a challenge to get over that far that close to the toll both, especially in the Foretravel. Far left is the preferred spot (WITH CAUTION I LEARNED) to be able to merge to the left to enter the Kennedy expressway.

Quick, 6 lane, rapid lane changes are NOT the ticket in a 40' RV with limited visibility. REMEMBER, Illinois drivers think 70mph is the SLOW LANE!

Maybe some stylish hand rubbed oak timbers as bumpers are required in the Chicago area.
