Go towards the end of the zipper and put your turn signal on. I'll let you in.

Don't: go to the end of the zipper with the turn signal on and just follow the shoulder line assuming I'll let you in. You actually have to yield. If you use the shoulder because no one let you in right away and you couldn't be assed to slow down even a little I'll actively block your criminal ass.

What's worst is people trying to get in right a the beginning of the shoulder of a long lane. They cause traffic for both lanes.

Just fucking go to the end of the lane, adjust your speed to merge with traffic.

I actually understand that one. It feels like going to the end is cheating, cutting they line. I used to do that until I learned it was bad for traffic and against design.

Probably because I've seen enough people get IN the ending lane just to zip ahead or people speed down the shoulder past where it ended.
