Interestingly, my observation is that drivers who used to go to the other lane to pass now pass closer but still with plenty of room. That aspect has been quite a surprise to me. It's like they didn't know how much room to give so they went to the other fog line. They seem to interpret the flag as an indication of how much room to give.
