    What discussion? Zipper merge is a well defined technique.

    More like half the people know how to zipper merge and the other half try to justify merging a mile early and getting angry when people pass them and zipper merge properly.

      Let pedestrians and cyclists go first. Scramble walk is okay and sjould be encouraged

        I hate scramble walks that act like you can’t still walk while traffic is going. The light is green just turn the walk sign on.

          50/50 about it. My premise was for stop signs and or yield signs in general. But for traffic lights I’d rather it red light all around and pedestrians go where the heck they need. Like in Chicago there is busy intersections in a densely populated neighborhood that has foot traffic of bars/restaurants etc. but pedestrians have to abide by traffic’s patterns?? Like that one-five driver decides to make a right turn and bam either you hit someone or someone rear ends or block the bus or just make long queue for the cars who go past the cross walk…

        I like how I stumbled into your sjould right after you made me imagine the scramble-walk. Somehow my brain crossed circuits and when I read sjould, my imagined scramble-walker slipped on wet pavement and half fell (and then recovered, by hitting the word “encouraged”, lol).

        Brains are weird.
