I think it is similar to when lanes merge. Better to stay in lane and then do zipper method.

If lane is open, cars will speed up until they reach merged/closed lane…

What do y’all say?

People are SUPPOSED to use both lanes for as long as safety possible, and then zipper-merge.

You’re an asshole. It’s a zipper merge.

OP you fucking idiot, if you expect people to get over two miles back then you’ve artificially extended the lane closure an additional two miles.

Not you Picard… say it ain’t so!!

It’s a zipper merge if the lane closes. Use all available lanes and alternate the right of way to keep traffic moving. It’s assholes who think they’re high and mighty that cause headaches in these situations
