Help reduce congestion by using the "Zipper Merge"
When a lane is closed in a construction zone, motorists should use both lanes of traffic until reaching the defined merge area and then alternate in "zipper" fashion into the open lane. Watch a brief video showing how the zipper merge works.
Zipper Merge benefits
- Reduces speed differences between lanes
- Reduces the length of traffic backups (by as much as 40 percent)
- Reduces congestion on freeway interchanges
- Creates a sense of fairness and equity when all lanes are moving at the same rate
