I have lived and worked all over the world and none merges worse than Halitonians!! In New Zealand there are signs everywhere encouraging people to merge “Like a Zip” and traffic merges super smooth even during rush hour. Merge like a zipper people one for one, do not stop and wait for someone to let you in, do not merge early, and do not let more than one car in at a time!!! —Is a smooth commute too much to ask?!

You must study Zen.
That wasn’t a very zen bitch…
I might add that we don’t have Kiwi birds here so try adapting to your environment.
Zen is not subject specific.
Don’t confuse merge with yield, which are two different things.
Yield DOES NOT mean merge, and I don’t care if it’s rush hour and I should treat your yield as a merge. I shouldn’t and it doesn’t make me an asshole to not allow one for one in a yielding type position!
Do not let more than one in at a time in a yielding type position.
Oh get lost, OB.
you really expect the morons that live in this province to follow that?! they cant even use a fucking blinker or stop at stop signs or red lights. a complex driving technique like merging, on/of ramps etc is just TOO much to contend with. Ive been waiting for 15 years for it to happen like everywhere else ive driven…but holding our breaths can only last so long.
My mind immediately went to the rotaries where you’re actually NOT supposed to ‘zipper’ in…
but then I thought about places like windsor exchange and kinda see your point.
That place is fucked every single day.
