You're clearly willfully misunderstanding the phrase "zipper merge" to mean your hatefully rude habit of zipping past everyone then merging.

Organized zipper merging is absolutely the best way to handle merging!

It means a nice strict alternation of people merging – left, then right, then left, etcetera. It actually works in practice in places where people are used to the rules and follow them (the Holland Tunnel NJ to NY is a fine example – at least when local people, not tourists, make up the majority of the traffic).

Speeding up to the head of an existing already-merged lane of traffic is the opposite of organized. It's a sign of sociopathy.

Avatar Swag For Life Member 4:44pm
Passaic River Blues:

Generally, zipper merging occurs when two lanes dissolve into one, with cars in each lane taking turns to proceed into the single lane. It does not mean driving abreast of a moving traffic lane in the shoulder or an exit lane, and then cutting back into the moving lane. I think some people conflate the two. Zipper merging is awesome; the latter is selfish bullshit.

@Bob:

The situation I often see, the particularly infuriating one, is where the majority of motorists have seen the signs saying (or just know) that an exit is coming for which one needs to be in the far right lane, and they conduct an orderly merge into that lane well before getting to that exit. Most of the cars needing to make that exit work their way into that exit lane a half-mile or more before the actual exit leaves the highway.

Because of the increased volume of traffic in that lane (because everybody has already merged into it), that lane often ends up moving more slowly than the express lanes to its left. But... pre-merged into that lane is where all the sensible, considerate, empathetic, moral drivers are.

Then some SOCIOPATHS whiz past the slower lane of cars pre-merged and ready to take the exit, and push their way into the already-formed exit queue right up front - not only being unconscionably rude, but slowing the pre-merged line down by injecting chaos into what was an orderly queue.

Time is an illusion, the past present and future is a constant at the same time. Anything that exists is constantly aging and changing, especially for living organisms that have the shortest existence of all. However the trade off there is the greatest gift of all; Awareness!, to be able to perceiving and know of existence and the wonders of it. When one thinks about the improbable astronomical odds of existing as a living higher intelligent functioning being, the question of aging should not even be of a concern, rather that the quality of your existence is. We all are the same age at different times, or just all having a life experience at different junctures in our own time that is unique to ourselves. Just knowing that we are alive to have them at all stages during our lives is a blessing in itself.

But yes, I completely hear you! (and were I living where you are -which has always been my aim but that's another story for another day :D - I would have pretty much the same habits). But I am honestly bummed to hear about the tensions with cyclists (although I get where you are coming from). I hope there will be ways to resolve them asap.

p.s. Just in case - I am always afraid of misunderstandings on internet chats- I should point out that none of what I said earlier was directed your way! :p
