#ThankYou Wisconsin State Patrol for sharing this important information on how to #ZipperMerge.
A Zipper Merge is a technique that helps ease traffic congestion when lanes close due to emergencies, construction or coming to an end, forcing traffic to merge into the next lane.
Key takeaways:
- Stay in your lane until the merge point
- Take turns with other drivers when merging
- Don’t drive in the middle of two lanes, preventing other drivers from overpassing or using either lane
Smart merging keeps traffic flowing and roads safer for everyone.
