Everyone can zipper merge at Chick-fil-A or 7brew, but on the highway it all of a sudden becomes a difficult task…

and it's illegal for that truck to try and block you.

Crazy how the human race can not figure out the zipper method.

I used to disagree on this topic, but you are 💯 correct, I’m not gonna wait in a big ass line if the other lane is open. People who wait are sheep

If you're supposed to merge a half mile back, the cones and barricades would be a half mile back.

It's called a zipper merge. I don't understand why people don't use the lanes. traffic would go much faster if everyone conducted the zipper merge.

I read somewhere that if you wanted people to merge then direct them into a single lane, you make them merge into the middle then direct them as needed with cones. Takes a lot more cones, but I think that would work better to force people to zipper merge

All DOTs needs to start putting up signs specifically stating zipper merge ahead until the public is reeducated.

When I was younger I thought it was rude. Then I got older and realized that's how it's supposed to be done to avoid super long lines of traffic.

Only reason zipper merge just never works in america bc people have too much of an ego to let people in the front or take turns. Let go of that ego on the road and this amount of traffic wouldn’t exist in the first place.

Merging that far back is insane. There is no “line” in this situation. You all are blocking miles worth of road

A single file will always move faster than a zipper. That’s why most of us opt for the single file. Then the ones who want to zip bring the entire thing to a halt.

The zipper merge has been proven to be the most efficient way but then you get guys like that truck driver who mess it all up

Notice how the traffic was moving at a decent pace through the chokepoint? Only time they had to brake was when other drivers tried to merge at the end. When a car brakes what happens to the cars behind them?

Unless I see this sign. I’m merging at the very end.

All this does is make it faster for yourself and slower for the rest of traffic. So if you’re willing to be selfish go ahead

It’s called a zipper merge for a reason it’s to allow traffic to continue moving. People who merge to early create this issue

You're supposed to use all the lanes until the merging point. The point is set for a reason; if they wanted it half a mile up the road, they would have put the cones up there. The POV guy is 100% right. It's a proven fact, and there are stats backing it up.

I never have a problem with people using both lanes like you’re supposed to. I do have a problem with people that force their way in at the last second without using a blinker

I don’t mind you zipper merging, but don’t go all the way to the line and try to squeeze in right as the cones start to narrow that shit pisses me off and I’m not gonna move an inch from the guy’s bumper and you’re not gonna get in

So if people are in a nice neat line at the grocery store you just walk right up to the register if there is space?
