They used to have signs up on major roads showing proper merging.
The biggest problem with merges is that the people in the lane being merged into feel they can just keep driving as normal. But if you have three lanes, and the right lane ends, it isn't just a matter of the right and the middle lanes merging together. By law,
all three lanes are merging into two. That means drivers in the middle lane have to move over into the lane to
their left to make space for cars merging from the right. But almost no Calgary drivers do that.
