I usually try to practice this (or at least make room for others to merge in) but last week the zipper merge took place right where an entrance ramp was also trying to merge creating a 3-way merge clusterfuck. Whoever put up the traffic cones should’ve been shot. Or… done a better job. All they had to do was complete the first merge before the entrance ramp, but no.

I was lucky enough to have already been in the left-most lane, at least.
