@StarSpangldPepe@SunshineDaisy@klara_sjo It actually is better. The other downside of merging early is you create a 2x longer line. This creates traffic jams at earlier intersections and gridlocks offramps on the highway.
@StarSpangldPepe@SunshineDaisy@klara_sjo That's incorrect. Merging at the end in the orderly fashion is more efficient. Merging early leaves road space unused and creates a much longer queue. Various transportation departments encourage the zipper method.
