How do you feel about lane closures?  I generally put on my blinker on once I see the "Lane closed ahead" and start trying to merge over.

I see a lot of people who will wait to merge until the last possible second and it causes a bottleneck up front.  I generally won't be as open to letting those people in.

 

This is a common misconception.  The “zipper merge” is the most efficient and preferred way to handle a lane closure.  The people who drive up to the closure point are the ones doing it right.  People like you are the ones slowing traffic up.

One bottle neck vs. 18 different bottle necks.  Give me the former, please.
