[QUOTE="Thomas Rogers, post: 800137, member: 60724"] Andy, if people are going to ride until the end and then unsafely merge, cutting people off and not using a turn signal in the process, then I agree. But that wasn't my case, and that doesn't have to be the general case when using both lanes until the merge as is described by the LATE MERGE concept. As for construction workers, I was one. I used to flag traffic and work behind closed lanes. I've seen it all. It's the people doing the stupid, unexpected, thoughtless things that get people hurt. Driving down an open lane, under the speed limit and then, merging safely at or just before the merge point SHOULD NOT be unexpected, or considered dangerous or rude. Hey, Andy, I appreciate your input. You think I was wrong. I appreciate that opinion. I don't agree with it. I'd like to change attitudes in this regard because I think that what I did was legal, reasonable, and if more people would adopt it more merge points would be safer, more pleasant and faster. And, as I have shown, traffic engineers agree with me. TJR [/QUOTE]
