Edit: I’m not quite sure how cross posting works here. I just saw this post in asklemmy and thought it could generate some interesting discussions in this community. I don’t have any opinion on the matter.

    Yes? Almost always actually.
    Maybe we’re thinking of two different things. Could you clarify exactly what you’re talking about?

    Northern California, no. Too many polite people combined with a subset of entitled assholes, both screw up the perfect zipper. Southern California, where you will be shot if you don’t zipper merge properly, it works perfectly. South bound interstate 5 exit to the Pasadena 110 freeway south is a thing of beauty to drive and appreciate a zipper merge.

    Never works in the Boston metro. You always end up with a backup of idiots that cause major issues when people who know how to zipper drive to the start of the queue and try and merge in. Then you end up with cunts in both lanes being cunts to each other all to save 30 seconds on a trip that will take 30 minutes or more to a go a few miles.

    No never. Maybe one or two cars but not a full on zipper merge working. Traffic always stops lets people in then if someone tries further ahead blocks them.
