JMO, but if there is a bottleneck in traffic ahead of you, I don't think it really has much of an effect on where traffic merges. Early or late merging, the same amount of traffic still has to get through the same width of road at some point.


Zipper merging is a huge lie. The cars in the open lane must slow to allow merging at the pinch. This is what causes the biggest slowdown. Getting cars past this point smoothly is way more important than using both lanes.

its not a lie, in principle is works great, or better than not. The problem is that people dont act like that gif and if the left lane guy doesnt let the right lane guy in like they should, it all goes to shite. It's asking too much because people are stupid, esp in baton rouge.
