Yes? Almost always actually.
Maybe we're thinking of two different things. Could you clarify exactly what you're talking about?
I think of is asking about this. Essentially like the teeth of a zipper when two lanes merge the lanes alternate which car merges into the single lane.
Yah. That's what I was thinking too.
And yah, it more-or-less always works.
Can second that my way as well. There is a occasional pushy car or confused driver, but it works well.
We have an area that perfected more of a "H" merge too, where 2 lanes start, cross if needed, and 2 lanes exit. The road isn't even striped accordingly! It's just what is needed and the locals sort of adapted as a collective.
