In backed-up traffic at a signed zipper merge, how should drivers in the open lane cooperate?
A is in the open lane beside backed-up vehicles in an ending lane. B is first in that queue; cones define the merge point. No sequence or route is shown.
Correct answer: Allow one vehicle at a time from the ending lane near the merge point.
Why
Where a zipper merge is used in backed-up traffic, use both lanes to the defined merge point and take turns entering the open lane. Drivers changing lanes must signal and merge safely; drivers continuing in the open lane make room for one vehicle.
