these are the consequences of what stupid people think because its a zipper situation that they are going above and beyond to be dickheads and try to cut in front of people at the very last moment flying up when they weren't even here long after their lane ended and they think they have a right of way to fricking hit you and not be at fault.


That's an argument against stupid drivers, not the 'zipper merge' - that's why I said it's a 'straw man'.

Anyone who thinks "they have a right of way to fricking hit you and not be at fault" is in the wrong in any situation. Has nothing to do with 'zipper merges'.

Zipper Merging works if it wasn't for all the self entitled a-holes driving trucks with truck nuts.


This is like saying communism works imo.

There are always going to be truck nuts when you're dealing with the public. This is not a private club. Your system needs to succeed in spite of the idiots. They're not magically going to become smarter, they're just going to muck it up for everyone else.

I dont personally mind these (roundabouts are fine too) but anything expecting the general public to display an ounce of sense & brainpower seems doomed to fail

No

You are the dumb frick

Zipper merging is meant for interstate or hwy merging only

Not construction zones and people skipping the line

Not for city streets when two lanes go to 1

In the prior two cases, by all means block the jackasses skipping the line


Only retards that can't drive can't grasp the zipper merge concept. Appears you are one of the retards. Congrats.

Has everything to do with the entitlement of a zipper merge suggestion on the roadway

You have no idea what you're talking about. I guess the subject line should have been my clue.

I get it but know most others don't, or that they just don't care. So I line up but no issue with those wanting to stay in the lane that is closing ahead.

The true scourge of America's roads lately is not moving when a light turns green. It's gotten outta hand!

You clearly do not understand how zipper merging works in reality in the US versus on paper

This is how it works in europe. Both lanes are dominant and merge to one





Now maybe if we changed graphics on the highway. Then it could work

Rather than graphics that say for 2 miles, lane ends merge left





How about graphics that say zipper merge ahead




So once again. frick off and stop being the a-hole that skips the line at the traffic light when two lanes merge to one after the light

That is NOT how zipper merging should work. Your prick arse is just skipping the line

where does the line start, retard? You want me to merge 10 miles before?




It doesn't work in Europe b/c of the different signs. It works b/c their drivers aren't fricking idiots that want to fight people b/c they merged in front of them. As if a sign is going make it work better here in the US. We have fricking morons driving over giant medians and running over dividers when they exit I-10 at college b/c they didn't stay in the lane for College and instead are in the lane to exit to Corporate but want to stay on College. They used to just run over the stick things that were in the road, so DOTD removed them b/c they got tired of repairing them. Now there's a big arse hump and idiots just go over it. As someone who has worked with people high up at DOTD, it's almost impossible to idiot proof traffic for the LA drivers. There's simply too many retards in this state, and country. The stop sign has been around for a long arse time, yet there are still retards that don't understand who has the right of way. We are a low IQ state, and all it takes is a few fricking idiots to frick up traffic for everyone.

I get over halfway and block their arse. Usually when I do that several more behind me do it as well.
