    Because it's counterintuitive. You would think that getting people over early means traffic can just flow easier.

    Yeah, but into a road that is more narrow. You can't fit twice the volume into a pipe half the size and expect the same throughput.

    You could reduce the gap between the cars by ~half.

    You said it couldn't be done, you didn't specify a need for it being safely done.

    Boomer humor. Your post. It’s humor for dimwitted old “baby boomers” who don’t understand that it’s better to use both lanes for as long as possible and then zipper merge.
