[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When a lane is closed ahead, drivers should fully utilize both lanes until the lane ends and zipper merge at that point. Those who designate themself the merge police and block perfectly usable lane a quarter mile before it ends are very stupid, as are those who won’t let drivers zipper merge from the ending lane. [/quote]

That depends on the situation. A lot of times merging drivers will have many, many opportunites to seamlessly merge into traffic, but instead try to zoom past everyone because it's all about them. [/quote]

You don’t understand the zipper merge.

It’s much more efficient than people randomly merging in. [/quote]

The zipper merge will succeed as soon as everyone buys into the concept and agrees to use it as intended. As with other great ideas, it takes about 5% of the people to make it fail.
There are some legitimate questions how it applies to situations like an exit (or lane split) that is backed up or when a lane becomes exit only.

I like the zipper merge but can't even get my whole household on board![/quote]
