There’s gotta be some way to design merges to encourage zipper merging, but I have no idea what that would be.
We also have a really bad merge up here where a single lane of traffic coming out a fairly sharp turn from a small feeder highway merges into the LEFT lane, resulting in people merging in at like 80km/h when the people already in the lane were trying to do 100+ (and come on, it’s the fast lane, they’re probably closer to 130)
Dunno how lights could possibly fix it, you really just need drivers to understand they need to slot together into a merge. Lights would just slow it fown

You’d need lights … which most people would ignore anyway.
