Drivers will even ride out the right lane until it merges to 2 lanes prior to the ramp, drive the shoulder and re-enter the onramp to drive up to the front of the queue. Absolutely infuriating and dangerous.(10-11-2017, 11:38 PM)SammyOES Wrote: Sadly this kills a number of the benefits of the zipper merge - it wastes a bunch of road capacity that could hold the queued cars and pushes the congestion back to the point that it impacts other roads/intersections that shouldn't need to be impacted. Not usually a problem on the 401, but horrible in the city.
The other lady in the story wasn't right at all. She did something illegal.
It almost sounds like we’re okay with those people on 401 in Toronto* who, in rush-hour jams, stay in the right lane, and blast up on-ramps every chance they get to bypass ~10 cars, then cut back in as if they had just joined the highway! People at the front of the line (unless they’re like me, and watch their rear-view mirrors like a hawk) have no idea what’s happened and think “Oh I’ll let this nice person in who has just joined the highway!”, having no clue that they just jumped in front of everyone else, rewarding their bad behaviour.
* - I have never seen this dickish behaviour anywhere else.
