You're actually supposed to drive to the end and only merge at the very last possibility. It's called zip merging and is supposed to lower the likelihood of traffic jams. The people who wildly pull over before the end of a road and those who refuse to let those at the end merge are doing it wrong.

Zip merging only works when it is planned for and everyone is expecting it. All the tests done that say it is the best way were done in controlled environments where it was expected. That is almost never the case on the road.

Idk, I've always seen it work quite well as long as there are no morons who refuse to let people in even though they see very clearly the lane is ending. But maybe people in my country just can drive.

At least in my experience here in the US, people in both lanes refuse to alternate. So on the one hand you have people in the continuing lane not letting anyone in, but on the other hand if someone in the ending lane manages to get in then the next three cars from that lane insist on going next, making it less likely for the cars in the other lane to want to let anyone in. No one here knows what a zipper merge here or really cares. So nice in theory, but in practice isn't working.
