impaler: Happy Hours: impaler: LeglessDog: The problem with your idea is that you're assuming everyone will adopt your adorably-named merge technique and cooperate--which will never happen, because we're humans.

The problem with your assumption is that you're assuming he's assuming. He's not. There were studies done on the zipper merge, so it was empirically measured to work. That's not an assumption. And it has been put in place by the MNDOT - and it works. It works really well too. Work on I-35 used to back up for miles, now there is hardly any line.

But hey, you think it won't work, even though it does.

That's the part I have trouble believing - how the hell did they make people actually use common sense?

The signs explicitly tell drivers to use both lanes until the merge point.

And that works?

Wow - It's kind of rare for people to read signs in other parts of the country

OK, I drive through NC pretty regularly, and what I've seen it seems like the car doing the passing slows down while going past the vehicle he's passing. So the car in the left might be doing 66mph while the car in the right lane is doing 63. Is it just my imagination or does that happen a lot in that state? (I notice it less on I-95 than on I-40, presumably because I-95 carries a lot more inter-state traffic than I-40 does.)

This happens in the UK as well. I think people think that the more time they spend alongside another vehicle the safer it is, which is contradicted by reality.

Maybe it just seems like that, maybe the guy in the middle lane sees he's being overtaken and instinctively puts his foot down, which from your vantage point looks like an equalisation of speed and slowing down by the overtaking car.

Moonk: This Looks Fun: padraig: Considering one of the the last time I made the "don't tailgate me" sign to a guy resulted in the culprit flying into a fit of rage, overtake me and them slamming his brake, almost sending me into a ditch tractor trailor, I'd rather not do that kind of thing.

The best 'signal' I ever had on the road, was a crappy rusty paint job on an old, massive 79 Chevy Caprice. It had an awesome engine, so I could accelerate however I wanted, and it handled very well for its size. I'm a good driver too, and share the road well, but you know, not everybody plays well with others out there. That crappy paint.. rust everywhere... one door a different color than the rest of the car... that was my defense, and offense.... it shouted out loud: "Get out of my way or get off my tail or otherwise leave me alone because I have nothing to lose... "

If someone tailgated, tried to push in on my lane, attempted to not let me merge at an on/off ramp, or otherwise acted towards me aggressively and stupid ... all I had to do is wobble my steering wheel a little and that big ol' ugly land barge would shudder and lurch in a truly terrifying manner ... and all of the road around me, 360 degrees, would instantly and magically clear...

I eventually got a new car... with a working heater and defroster(!)... and I really liked it. But the road suddenly became a much more crowded place. (&people started parking closer to me too for some reason, altho, I admit, it was nice to not have the landlord hide my car behind plowed snow every winter... )

I just set the cruise control at 55 and stay in the right lane.

Saves gas and there isn't anyone in front of me or behind me, most of the time.

RevBigfoot: A long time ago I had this grand idea of mounting one of those scrolling LED signs in my back window and programming it with things like "turn off your brights" or "get off my ass" but after talking to a local cop realized I would get ticketed for it so gave up on the idea. Still seems worth it though. Now I have to settle for randomly brake checking the person behind me.

You could try obeying the law and getting the fark out of the way.

I'm also one of those people who will straddle the merging lane in bumper-to-bumper traffic to prevent idiots from trying to sneak past everyone else, then slowing down the entire flow of traffic because they try to squeeze in at the last possible second.

You might want to check the law in your state, because in a lot of states slower traffic, even if they are going the speed limit, are required by law to move to the right and stay out of the left hand lane. I don't know what the law is in your state, but it could be you who is braking it.

Gaylord Fister: LED sign? Meh. Better mount a couple of old camera flashes in it, like a dozen, pointed out the back, triggered by a button. Then, if some asshole is tailgating you, ZAP! Instant blindness, for a few seconds at least.

Of course, this works best at night. Just make sure you close your eyes for a moment while you push the button.

you are the problem.

the reason that extended mergers slow things down is that people don't zipper merge at the end, people in the lane that is ending merge wherever they can over a large area near the end, not just at the very end, and as a result their lane moves faster.

It's not 1 for 1, it's 1 in the lane that isn't ending for 1-2 in the lane that is, as people who have merged over sometimes also allow others to merge over in front of them.

Basically, if you hop in the lane that is ending, you will go faster because roads in the US aren't set up for zipper merges, like roads in much of Europe are.


And no, I'm not the passive aggressive guy who tries to block people from merging, I'm the pragmatic who moves a lane away from the whole mess and, while not getting to 'go fastest' at least avoids the whole poorly designed thing.

Do you personally follow obnoxious signs? Or do you follow the golden rule?

I'm guessing with your reference to the sign, that you are a write-off.

doglover: criscodisco: I'd love one just to display "Turn of your brights, dickhole."

I'd really just rather have a mirror on a string.

You wanna turn on your fog lights and tailgate me? Taste your own medicine!

That's why I mount polished stainless steel sheet metal behind the license plate as a frame.

I have a "zipper" merge near me that I use somewhat frequently. There's always some tractor trailer or some douche in a big work truck trying to block both lanes way before the merge point. I love zipping around these guys in my coupe and then doing the same thing to them. Or sometimes I'll get in front of them and then motion in every single person who wants to merge or get on the road in front of me while they fume and lay on the horn.

I've called many a trucking company on truckers who block both lanes. Why would you drive like that when your truck has a "HOW AM I DRIVING?, call 1-800 . . . . " on your truck?

My favorite incident was one time a guy in a work truck was blocking both lanes. So I easily zipped by him. So he gets into the second lane right next to me rolling down his window yelling at me. Well, soon his lane ends and he's driving in the median basically. He's yelling at me how I'm driving illegal, etc. I looked at him and said "you're doing exactly what you're yelling at me about, you're driving illegally, not in a lane, in the middle of the road".

People are basically idiots behind the wheel. Get out of the way if someone wants to go faster, and drive as fast as you feel is necessary based on the rewards and the risks of getting caught.

"use both lanes to merge point"

criscodisco: I'd love one just to display "Turn of your brights, dickhole."

Knew a guy who had a KC Daylighter mounted backwards on his truck for just that reason. Probably illegal, but very effective.

CasperImproved: impaler: CasperImproved: Merge early, and with consideration for others. That is the rule.

That's not what the sign says

Do you personally follow obnoxious signs? Or do you follow the golden rule?

I'm guessing with your reference to the sign, that you are a write-off.

That is not the rule anywhere on the planet. That lane is there for a reason. The RULE is for drivers to use that lane to the end, then to alternate with the lane they are merging with. The traffic flows better when that lane is used fully and properly.

Only a-a-a-a-a-assholes dont let people merge. There is nothing more comical than some bitter little dude who is going WIN by NOT letting someone in front of him in traffic. Loser.

You people have way too much time on your hands. If I encounter an a-hole driver, I think "Man, that guy/girl is a douchebag" and move on with my life. I'm not going to put signs on my car, flip them off, or drive crazy just to piss them off. Revenge on the road is stupid.
