...in all these instances that I could think of off the top of my head for where I've encountered lanes that don't end, they use the thick, double-frequency dashed lines. This is mindblowing, it doesn't make any sense at all to me. Arghhhhhhhh!!!
I could have sworn I was taught in Driver's Ed that this meant the lane you're in is about to end...
You're not wrong, this is in fact the taught and expected meaning according to the MTO. If it is common to find them in other places there are either a lot of road engineers reading books wrong (unlikely) or the design standards are broken (likely). But it's clear this is a broken design.
