Not really what happens at all. Without a designated merge point it is a free for all. At the designated merge point people tend act rationally and take turns. At least that's what happens in my experience.
Maybe in Wenatchee......
Not where I live and Central Florida.
Everyone has to get ahead of everyone else.
The "shorter" line.

It's the lack of proper signage that cause people to have problems. When the signage is clear, people have no problems.
SOME people do.!.!
They barrel up the closing lane to get ahead of others....

As soon as I know a lane will be closed, I move over, if necessary.
Amazing how simple that is, eh?Apr 30, 2024 13:34:43 #

To insure the battles rage, instead of proper merging signs, the road crews simply state stuff like "right lane closed ahead." This seems to instruct the "kind/considerate" folks to merge right now which is the start of all the problems.

Yes, everyone should continue to use the left lane until the last minute.
Then try to squeeze in.
ONCE I saw a "Left Lane Closed 1 Mile" sign on an interstate. ODDLY, everyone started merging at THAT sigh. By the time we got to the actual closure, there was NO BACKUP. Traffic was running at normal speed.
ONCE!
It's PEOPLE, not the signs that cause the problem.........

In the parlance of equivalence. Simply put, multiply your m43 ISO by crop factor squared to get the equivalent noise level ISO for a FF camera. If you're M43 camera has a base ISO of 200 then 200 times crop factor (2) squared = 800. A FF camera at ISO 800 will produce an equivalent noise level to your M43 camera at ISO 200.
If I would have known photography would be so complicated I would have taken up woodworking...
Oh, wait... My photography isn't complicated at all.

When there is a designated merge point, which is ALWAYS at the end of the merging lanes, there is no problem. People have no problem letting every other car in at the merge point. No one cuts in line because both lines move at exactly an equal pace. There needs to be signs specifically instructing people to use both lanes and merge at the merge point. For some ungodly reason, road crews in PA seldom use these signs. I think they like people fighting over lanes.
Yea, not necessary for common sense to come into play at all.
And how many will merge and how many will keep the space in front of them closed?

What irritates the **** out of me is when traffic is to merge into the right lane and the idiots that race up the berm and avoid either the left or right lane.
Saw a guy do that once.
A cop car was parked on the shoulder ahead of him.......
Gotta love Karma!

As a former transportation planner I have always thought in this type situation there should be a designated merge point. The greatest traffic flow efficiency would be realized if all the available pavement was utilized right up to the designated point of merge.
Well, wherever the "merge point" is located there will always be a problem.
Close, far, in-between.
There always is a "merge point", that's where the 2nd lane goes away...
