There are many factors that contribute to congestion on our roads. Merging like a zip is one way we can help reduce the impact of congestion.
Sometimes on a road, two lanes will merge into one lane. On-ramps are another example of two lanes of traffic coming together. It’s important to make sure that all vehicles from both lanes have plenty of space to merge safely.
The best way to merge is like a zip – where a vehicle from the left lane goes and then a vehicle from the right lane goes, and so on.
As you merge, let one vehicle from the other lane go first, and then go.
