I’ve never seen a zipper merge work in high traffic, but I have seen “right lane ends” work more-or-less fine. Same effect, but people on the right lane drivers are a bit more likely to yield which makes people in the left lane slightly more likely to make room.

We’re often not a smart species.

I think a lot of it is regional. In big city-center-compacted cities it works well, NYC being a great example. In suburbs it's sort of sloppy or depends on the area. In sprawling everyone-in-SUV-8-lane-highway cities, places like LA or Houston, it's an absolutely hopeless shit show of selfishness.

I have theories on why it's that way, but all I really know is that's what I have observed.

extensively. daily. anyone who picks up their kid at school inevitably has to flow through several.
its generally not a problem unless someone isnt paying attention, or just being an ass.

I want to start keeping some bumper magnets in my car for the latter category. Like that guy who tossed them onto shopping cart abandoners. Really gets me grumpy when people just zip in without zippering.

If two cars from one of the queues go through without letting someone in, then the pattern just resumes right after that

Like once, but generally naw.
