It's like saying "if everyone did everything right, we wouldnt need laws" It's impossible I mean, there was a time where theyre werent stop signs, but (some) people were still smart enough to slow down when approaching an intersection.

realnifty1 02/06/23 11:27:55 AM #45:	There is a better graphic out there I have seen before that accounts for free flowing traffic ( merge when it is clear ) and high density ( zipper at the merge point ). But if you are stopping just to merge in, then you are doing it wrong and causing everything to be slower. <cite>realnifty1 posted [p:971362118] in The idiots...

NoxObscuras 02/06/23 11:30:10 AM #46:	Zipper is what's actually supposed to happen though. If you merge every other car, it keeps both lanes moving, as opposed to one lane screeching to a stop, because of 1 car stopping and waiting for an opening, or a car getting cut off and slamming on their brakes. But people don't follow it because they want to save as much time as possible and aggressively not let any cars in front of them. --- PSN - NoxObscuras Z490 \| i9-10900K \| EVGA 3080 FTW3 Ultra \| 32GB DDR4 3600 \| 4TB SSD <cite>NoxObscuras posted [p:971362154] in The idiots...

Suolevram 02/06/23 11:38:40 AM #50:	AlBundy33 posted... By the time you see the cones where the lane is closed, you should have already been in the other lane, zipper merging only works at a certain traffic density, if people started merging when they see Right lane closed, 2 miles ahead, there wouldnt be an issue Locally, hell, all over the US they occasionally remember to put out the warning signs. So often there is no sign, just an abrupt change to the flow of traffic and then you see the sign 10 feet in front of the cones. I'm usually very aware well ahead of time, but it never fails you get 2-5 people who try to haul ass and forcefully merge. --- fay ce que vouldras <cite>Suolevram posted [p:971362328] in The idiots...
