I think the thing you guys are missing here is that this shared entry/exit lane is very short, and the people exiting into that lane to get onto 16Ave don't have a lot of room. There have been a few times where I have had to put my breaks on because some ###### is racing along beside me trying to merge, and I'm running out of room to exit...

It is not a merge lane. It is a shared entry/exit lane, and there is about 13000000 miles of difference between the two concepts.

Right of way isn't just some fancy term. It's all about traffic flow, and understanding how right of way works is almost more important than any traffic sign out there. If you don't get the concept of right of way, you should stay off the road. It's really that simple.
