Why it matters: Weaving and zip merging: who yields to whom, and the 300/50-metre rule

Near Grijpskerke, where the provincial road narrows right before a bridge, a jam forms exactly there when everyone merges too early: the ending lane is left needlessly empty while the through lane clogs up. And whoever reverses the weaving direction — making exiters wait instead of mergers — forces a slower driver into an abrupt manoeuvre at exactly the point where overview is already smallest.
