Default Merge In Turn

At last

Check out rule 134

133-143: Multi-lane carriageways : Directgov - Travel and transport

and rule 288

288-307: Road works, level crossings and tramways : Directgov - Travel and transport

Whether it will make any difference to the "must get into the inside lane as soon as possible" brigade is of course a different matter

Merge-in-turn only works if the two lanes concerned are moving at the same speed. If they are moving at different speeds it will just cause accidents.

The reason some Q's move at different speeds is because usually people don't merge in turn (excluding outside influences like accidents) and you get a huge queue, of people insisting that they must be on the inside lane 4 miles back and a much smaller q on the other lane.

A14 east bound shut the other day near Newmarket. All traffic was being sent off @ the A142. For 5 miles before it was solid traffic.

About 2 miles before the funnelling exit was a lorry in the outside lane of 3 and the road in front of him was clear to where it came down to being closed.



Not saying his not being there would have eased the traffic but what a prat.
