The “zipper method” of merging increases traffic speed by up to 40%.

| Jan. 28, 2022, 1:00 p.m.

The methodology is endorsed by the American Automobile Association, increases traffic speed by up to 40%, and has already been adopted by numerous other states, according to Brammer. “You’ve got the early merger, who moves over immediately,” he said. “And then there’s someone who speeds to the end of the lane as fast as they can, and then there’s usually some guy in a big pickup truck that decides to defend the vehicular virtue of all other drivers by going in between both lanes and sitting there to make sure that nobody else speeds up to the end.”

“How would you determine this person has violated [the zipper method]?” said Rep. Jeffrey Stenquist, R-Draper. “And who would get a ticket potentially, even if there was an effort to enforce this?”
