    States that mandate signs about lane closures being really far out claim it makes traffic flow better. In my experience it just makes traffic stop in a different spot and is likely worse than zipper merges.

      My state just recently started posting signs to keep using both lanes so people wouldn’t go to one lane far too early. It was nice to be able to zipper merge without people pushing back.

        We just need a traffic cone/barrier pattern to merge the lanes into each other, so that neither has the wrong impression that they’re the main or correct lane
