"For the sake of the strength of the project, for the sake of due process,
and for the sake of being able to defend any sort of ban or other action,
NE2 must have his day in "court." He (and those that may defend him) must
be able to speak their minds. On the other hand, those the present
situation isn't fair to those of us with grievances. The present situation
also is, in total, harmful to the project."

Agreed.

NE2 may need to be banned, or may be valuable to OSM  It should not be
decided here, but by a formal procedure.

My insight in this from past discussions and interaction is that NE2 has to
be "beaten over the head with incontrovertible evidence" before he is
willing to back down.   The problem is he isn't offering similar evidence
to begin with, and refuses to give other users views similar weight to his
own.

Regarding the restriction in question.  As mentioned it would be illegal
based on not using the innermost lane, and crossing a solid traffic line.
Note that the on-ramp turn lane is the only one with a solid line from
where traffic has to stop.
