Are you sure you didn't see this happen? That's exactly what it looked
like they were doing. I assume they wanted the I-15N lanes and didn't
want to wait in line like everyone else does. That, or they were all
so clueless as to where they were going they all got into lanes marked
SOUTH FREEWAY ONLY. (It's not just freeway only anymore, I didn't
notice till today.)

Or, if they have a large pickup, will use the grassy median as an extra
lane. I've seen that on two different freeways in the last 6 months.
Cops seem to take that pretty seriously if you call up with their plate
#'s though.
