Why is it always boomers that fail to comprehend the zipper merge?

Boomer humor. Your post. It’s humor for dimwitted old “baby boomers” who don’t understand that it’s better to use both lanes for as long as possible and then zipper merge.

I call it prep and merge…prepare to merge at speed, then merge when it’s needed

What do you mean

Because it’s counterintuitive. You would think that getting people over early means traffic can just flow easier.

Yeah, but into a road that is more narrow. You can’t fit twice the volume into a pipe half the size and expect the same throughput.

You could reduce the gap between the cars by ~half.

Are you referring to stopping distances?

It was in fact, lead poisoning. That’s where all the angry husband stuff comes from too. That whole generation was literally metally challenge due to the poisoning.
