Because people just don't care. They are on the road for themselves - no one else matters. In fact they believe that everyone should yield to them. Traffic laws are for the other guys, not them.
I saw a sign on the tailgate of a truck once that said "It's mind over matter - I don't mind and you don't matter" Sorta said it all.

for the same reason that people don't follow any of the other rules or signs that are required of them: the rules do not apply to them-they are special!
People park in handicapped spaces, not because they are handicapped, but because they are lazy, they take up these spaces that are needed by truly handicapped persons.
The speed limit is only a "suggestion" on the highway.
Just take a look around you, people ignore so much direction that is put out for them, because it is easier for them and the fact that they are teaching their children to disregard the rules is a non-issue for them.

I have seen them drive around our flagmen and into blasting zones. Scarey. I often see the same disregard on construction sites. There are reasons that workers wear safety boots and hard hats.

Because it is the ME genaration, no one else counts and it's always the same ignorant bastards who are doing it. Just take a look at them, they are so self absorbed or on the phone and they actually look like selfish idiots or old farts who shouldn't be driving any more and are wearing a hat to boot. Its a crying shame.

Calm down Eagle Scout. People don't slow down because they know it's a formality that needs to go away. Just because they put up cones doesn't mean you should reduce you speed to a crawl. The lanes are still open it just that people are "slowly" working yards away.
