I * * * * I N G hate it. I think that in THEORY it would work, but with humans in the mix, it NEVER works. I'm always the person trying to smooth things out by splitting the two lanes and trying to block off the lane closing traffic because they try to but themselves in and it just creates a bigger and slower line of vehicles. I LOVE pissing people off this way, because they think that they're in the right. Again, this is a great way to cycle cars into one lane on paper, but in reality, it never works, especially in slow construction.

Come live here lol, we have two sets of rules. If the lane marking continues to the end of the road it is considered a lane change and not a merge and the car with the lane ending (the one "merging") has to give way to the other lane. If the lane marking does not continue to the edge of the road, then it is the zipper method.
