Zipper Merge: Efficient Traffic Solution

Recommended by Sam

ALL HAIL THE PERFECT ZIPPER MERGE! Nobody has to stop! Just ease on on in, stay in your late until it ends! Everybody wins! I always get a perfect zipper merge from the 2 North to the 134 West in Glendale, it's a magical spot. If we, as a society, could learn to perfectly zipper merge at all times, we would be one step closer to a more empathetic, cooperative America!

Yes, this! Apparently it's a thing in Germany, too. Bay Area folk seem to get it most of the time. But gosh--I can't imagine trying it in a place like Miami. Not a zipper mentality, there.
