Random information on the term “MERGE”:
In traffic engineering, the late merge or zipper method is a convention for merging traffic into a reduced number of lanes. Drivers in merging lanes are expected to use both lanes to advance to the lane reduction point and merge at that location, alternating turns.
The late merge method contrasts with the early merge method. A related scheme is the dynamic late merge.
The late merge method has not been found to increase throughput (throughput is the number of vehicles that pass through a point in a given period of time). However, it considerably reduces queue (“backup”) length (because drivers use the ending lane until its end) and reduces speed differences between the two lanes, increasing safety. In the case of Interstate 77 in North Carolina, where signs directed people to use the zipper merge, the length of the backup was reduced from eight miles to two.
Governments hold campaigns to promote the late merge method because irritation, aggression and feelings of insecurity easily occur while “zipping”. Often drivers who change lanes too early do not like to see other drivers continue until the end of the drop-away lane, even though this late merging is encouraged by the authorities. In most countries , a driver can be penalized for not using the late merge method. In some countries only where a traffic sign so indicates.
