Let’s be honest.

How many people here should’ve checked Trivago?

Correct, but for the zipper merge to work properly, the merge has to be accomplished at the end of the blocked lane.

See animation below:



What many are suggesting in this thread is to merge well before the merge point, which leaves a whole lane not being used. Just because it hurts people’s feelings when they see someone going faster than them, and get merge in before them.

Which is how the zipper was designed.

thats not how it works at all.


Yea, staying in the slow lane and tailgating the car in front of you because you get pissed at the ones who are in the fast lane and merge at the merge point is definitely what they designed the zipper merge for.

You might be on to something.

Seems like you’re the one who screwed up staying in the lane that added 10min of waiting.

Why didn’t you get in the lane that went all the way up to the zipper merge?
You’ll need chains or 3PMSF tires at the very least.

I heard a rumor Sydney Sweeney’s character is an OF model in this season.

I find the idea of Route 66 fascinating. The idea that one could drive from one metropolis to another and the freedom of the American Plains and West.

Seeing the old infrastructure is also fascinating to me.

The time period “culture” surrounding the towns is not my bag.
An hour?

30min?

10min?

At wha point am I getting spit or “floor spice” on my meal?
