Description: | Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) has been using the "zipper merge" at congested work zones for about 10 years. In work zones with a zipper merge, drivers are told to use both lanes up to the merge point and then take turns to move into and forward in the remaining lane. Recent online forums showed that more than 60 percent of drivers were not aware that the zipper merge is acceptable driving technique, so MnDOT is doing a public education campaign. |
