Pull who don't know how to stop at a red light behind the big white line. Instead, they pull up into the crosswalk and block your view when you're trying to turn right.

Zipper merging.

This is effective on interstates.Using this on surface streets like these people do everyday is just assholes not wanting to wait their turn.
How is using as much drivable space on the road less effective? Sounds to me like you're the a-hole.

Newsflash.
Zipper merging is for freeway speeds in construction zones. DO YOU UNDERSTAND THIS?

Utilize all the lanes of traffic to the merge point.

Actually this is the law in almost every state. Stopping short still impeded the flow of traffic.

traffic is already impeded at this point no? So others shouldn't have to wait to get through a slow spot like everyone else? They have cut in line passes?

Actually wrong. It's any time there is congestion.
quote:
If roads are clear enough that everyone is already driving close to the speed limit, zipper merging isn't as effective, but in the case of congestion, Johnson said that this method reduces backups by a whopping 40 percent on average, since both lanes approach the merge with equal stake in maintaining speed.
quote:
There can be a weird idea going through people's heads of, like, 'Oh, these people are cheating, cutting in line!'" Washington State Department of Transportation representative Travis Phelps said to public radio station KUOW on Tuesday. "Well, it actually lets traffic flow if you can let folks in. Play nice. Treat traffic like a team sport. You gotta play the assist role. It's gonna help lessen the backups
quote:
In particular, the Minnesota Department of Transportation has added sensors to key roads; when they recognize pile-ups and congestions, electronic signs turn on and tell drivers to fill both lanes and merge at a later point.

well that is their choice. and 50 yards is subjective to your speed.
lets say the speed limit is 45. if you are going 55 (10 mph over, cool with me, i do it), you will most likely need to come down to 10 mph in this scenario.
why should people haul arse on their right hand turn (wears out tires/brakes/suspension) just so you are not inconvenienced? seriously you need to reevaluate your driving tendencies

Exist.
Posted on 10/5/16 at 2:27 pm to meauxjeaux2
I'm not searching for you, Google. If there is 500 feet of lane not used, then there is 500 feet of backups behind the driver merging early. Backs up other hwys, intersections, etc. One thing people can learn is, is that 1 extra car gonna cause you to be any later?
I blame ladot for their stupidity.

At a busy intersection, cars turning left and/or going straight see that the light is about to change, but say "frick it I'm going anyway". They get caught out in the middle of the intersection because the line of cars up ahead prevent them from being able to go. Now, nobody goes anywhere for two light cycles.
And the thing is, they're not stupid. They could very much foresee that happening like that.

People that don't use the entire merge lane and stop to "merge" into stopped traffic, when you can properly merge into moving traffic up the ramp.

I don't know why but this pissing me off so much.
Or when I'm stopped at an intersection waiting for an oncoming vehicle coming from my left and this a-hole turns at the intersection without signaling. You fricking held up an entire intersection because you can't signal your turn.

Nope didn't see that stated. I only saw where you said they drive the whole merge lane.
