That’s faster for everyone though. While they’re using the low-traffic lane, they aren’t taking up more space in the backed-up lane. It’s the people switching early that are the assholes.
This does not apply if it’s an exit. Then they’re just driving in the wrong lane.

That is the zipper merge acg.aaa.com/…/zipper-merge-keeps-traffic-moving and both lanes should be full all the way with every other car giving way.

I know what it is, but cars in the merging lane often try to skip the one they’re supposed to give way to and merge right behind the one in front of them.
Have you ever had a zipper jam?
