I think it is similar to when lanes merge. Better to stay in lane and then do zipper method.

If lane is open, cars will speed up until they reach merged/closed lane...

What do y'all say?

Yes, the zipper method is much more efficient than a single line of cars 2 miles long before a lane closure.

LPT: don't take it personally when someone needs to merge.

It is literally a zipper when a lane is closed. By getting in the "line" too early, you are making traffic worse. Memes like this drive me crazy. Not only are you wrong, you are proudly wrong

People really like to double down on their stupidity

States that mandate signs about lane closures being really far out claim it makes traffic flow better. In my experience it just makes traffic stop in a different spot and is likely worse than zipper merges.

My state just recently started posting signs to keep using both lanes so people wouldn't go to one lane far too early. It was nice to be able to zipper merge without people pushing back.

We just need a traffic cone/barrier pattern to merge the lanes into each other, so that neither has the wrong impression that they’re the main or correct lane

Zipper is best, but good luck getting everyone in traffic to do that shit 😂
