So, you agree? You think the zipper merge is really helpful?
When approaching work zones and traffic is slow, use both lanes all the way to the merge point, then take turns.

"Forcing drivers to merge into one lane in just half a city block is such a big deal that PBOT had to install not one, not two, not three, but four big yellow advisory signs right next to each other. The signs say, “Take Turns” which is quite novel" #zippermerge #pdxtraffic 🤣 #pdxbikes NE […]

City driving is pretty much one continuous zipper merge. Between the narrow Lanes, debris, people walking in the streets the potholes or generally bad roads people are always randomly changing lanes or riding the line not to mention debris again, and narrow turning radiuses #citydriving #zippermerge

I'll say it again I'm a huge fan of the #zippermerge. Especially at lights! There are two lanes for a reason, do your civic duty use both lanes that includes once through the light you're supposed to be participating with the other lane to get them back together into one #driving #merging

I'm a proponent of the zipper merge. I almost wonder if it should be codified into law. From traffic signals with a merge after the light, to highway merging, and lanes ending. Sure it could be addressed with tailgating enforcement. And like tailgating enforcement

Work zones 🤝 Zipper merge
When a lane is closed and traffic is slow, use both lanes all the way to the merge point and take turns. It’s called the zipper merge, and it keeps traffic flowing! Learn more: mndot.gov/zippermerge

Stuck in a work zone with heavy traffic? Don’t rush the merge—zip it.
When traffic slows down, use both lanes until the merge point, then take turns. It’s not rude—it’s the zipper merge, and it keeps traffic moving. Learn more: mndot.gov/zippermerge

Everything I do, I do for me. I love me. I L-O-V-E M-E.
I give myself permission to feel.
Also, I am allowed to #ZipperMerge. That’s what we’re *supposed* to do. And I won’t feel about it. Why would I feel bad that y’all had to wait when y’all were the ones not doing what you’re supposed to do!

Minnesota requires it! when there's a lane closure, there's a sign at the very end of it that says "MERGE HERE ⬅️" and you just take turns. it works well! www.dot.state.mn.us/zippermerge/

🚧 Lots of active construction sites are buttoning up for the season, resulting in occasional unexpected lane closures 🚧
A bit of road courtesy combined with some common sense will make life on the road a lot more safe & a lot less stressful for everybody this winter ❄️

It is worth noting that late merging can actually work better! The F-150 pilot in the OP seems like an asshole, but as a general matter we shouldn’t be punishing people for staying in their lane up to the merge point in heavy traffic. See, eg, www.dot.state.mn.us/zippermerge/
