They aren't the only ones, and not only there but at the on ramp to 422 east up from there where the ramp is - to put it mildly - "only a suggestion." You stop because there is no where to go and people go around you and end up as a disaster waiting to happen and for the record just because you are at speed doesn't mean you should be left in, the people on 422 - vis-a-vis at speed on the highway, have the right of way... I had an argument with a Pottsgrove policeman and when I showed him the Pa law he wouldn't accept it.....

If you were almost in 5 accidents, perhaps you should alter your driving habits.

Do you move into the left lane when you see someone is trying to merge? Courtesy and defensive driving will help you to avoid those "5 accidents" in the future.

Yes most "accidents" are the result of being overly aggressive and/or stupid.

I understand what you mean about your "near accident" experiences. I travel the 422 corridor almost twice a day during the work week and have had many similar experiences. If I am able to move into the left lane when I see a vehicle wishing to merge, then I do so out of common courtesy, and not for any other reason but that. The vehicles traveling on 422 have the right-of-way and the vehicles merging are to do so without causing any change in traffic whatsoever. The Vehicle Code in Pennsylvania clearly states that drivers are to yield to oncoming traffic. That means you slow down and look for oncoming traffic. If there is oncoming traffic then you are to stop and wait. You are to proceed only when safe to do so, without causing abrupt change. There is nothing written in the Vehicle Code stating that the oncoming traffic traveling in the right lane must either merge into the left lane or slam on their brakes, because some ignorant and inconsiderate driver is flying down the ramp, not bothering to look to see if anyone's coming. Those types of drivers think that the world should bow down to them and if you fail to do so, then you run the risk of playing a part in a major accident caused entirely by them. Common courtesy, intelligence, and the ability to read and comprehend the English language, are all things of the past. Be Safe!

.. and those same inconsiderate drivers will stop at a stop sign??? I merge into the left lane about a half mile before the interchange. What is needed is a merge lane Eastbound, but considering the expense of a wider bridge that's not going to happen.
