[QUOTE="Bill V, post: 800181, member: 54538"] The "zipper" is the strategy recommended by most (if not all) traffic/DOT/etc. experts, for use when two lanes merge down into one (be it for a construction site or just a lane elimination) during heavy (not free-flowing) traffic. The concept is to use all lanes up to the merge point, and then alternate cars/lanes at the merge point, much like the teeth of a zipper coming together. (Or like the two halves of a shuffled deck of cards.) I've heard (don't have any references) that in some countries, when they have a situation like this (particularly by a construction site), they "force" the zipper by having the single lane not be an extension of either lane, but down the middle of the two. Would definitely be an interesting approach. [/QUOTE]
