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. https://auto.howstuffworks.com/traffic-lane-zipper-merge.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
