@DailyLoud Having worked at a bank, opening procedures dictate that you are NOT to open the branch if there are vehicles in the parking lot, and to call the police. This could’ve been racism, but most likely profiling (which we are all biologically programmed to do, for survival).
Actually, traffic studies show that it’s usually better to let both lanes be used all the way up to the merge and then do a zipper merge at the end. Blocking a lane can actually cause more slowdowns behind you. So it’s typically smoother if everyone just uses both lanes and merges politely at the merge point.
