- Late_merge abstract "In traffic engineering, the late merge or zipper method is a convention for merging traffic into a reduced number of lanes. Drivers in merging lanes are expected to use both lanes to advance to the lane reduction point and merge at that location, alternating turns.The late merge method contrasts with the early merge method. A related scheme is the dynamic late merge.The late merge method has not been found to increase throughput (throughput is the number of vehicles that pass through a point in a given period of time). However, it considerably reduces queue ("backup") length (because drivers use the ending lane until its end) and reduces speed differences between the two lanes, increasing safetyGovernments hold campaigns to promote the late merge method because irritation, aggression and feelings of insecurity easily occur while "zipping". Often drivers who change lanes too early don't like to see other drivers continue until the end of the drop-away lane, even though this late merging is encouraged by the authorities. In Belgium, a driver must actually use the late merge by law (a driver can be penalised if he does not). In Austria and Germany only where a traffic sign so indicates.It should be clear that this late merge method is only of importance when there is much traffic. In case of low traffic it shouldn't be a problem to change lanes since there is enough space on the road.The appropriate late merging behavior consists of the following code of conduct: Continue as long as possible on the merging lane; At about 300 meters before the bottleneck (marked with a traffic sign), adjust to the speed of the vehicles driving on the adjacent lane; Vehicles driving on the adjacent lane deliberately make room for the merging vehicle; At about 50 meters before the bottleneck, without braking or disturbance of the created space, the vehicle merges. Thus the merging vehicle and the vehicle behind it can continue their ride.".
