Zipper merges are always more efficient, though the problem is idiots don't understand what they are. They _are not_ racing up to the last moment you need to merge. Ever. They are never that. Ever. They are ONLY two rules: 1. If you need to merge, roughly match speeds with through-traffic once you've identified an opening, line up with that opening, and merge. 2. If you're in the through-lane, make room for roughly 1 to 1 cars to be able to merge in. It is a whole _different matter_ to occupy all of closing lanes or merge lanes. Solves a totally different problem. The people insisting it's part of zipper merging are idiots that do not understand zipper merging.
