But the instinct kicks in here that someone is 'cheating' the queue like it's a damn grocery store.
But cutting cars into the merge lane at the end doesn't help anyone get where they need to be. Traffic flows more smoothly when people don't let in people who are in dead-end lanes...

I think damn, that looks totally legal and smart. Wish I wasn't so stupid.

I think they're doing what the road was designed to do. Why do you want to artificially limit the capacity of the road just so you can feel like the big man that doesn't let anyone in? fricking LA drivers are so stupid.
quote:Wrong. Using as much capacity of the roadway as possible speeds everything up.
But cutting cars into the merge lane at the end doesn't help anyone get where they need to be.

If you merge at the end of the closing lane you're merging as close as possible to the spot where traffic usually starts moving again at a respectable speed (once everybody is in the single open lane, traffic flows).
When you have people merging way too early you often end up with one of two scenarios:
1. Someone is shooting a gap that just opened, causing everybody else to break more heavily in the open lane.
2. Someone trying to merge early in some arbitrary spot, waiting for a gap to open, slowing down both the open lane and the closing lane with room to spare.
