Right but that's the point. Yield is not the same as stop. When "yielding" sometimes you have to stop for a few seconds, but I've observed peole who sit and then don't even try to get over. You have a good half mile of merge lane in order to get over. Of course, you do have to be heads up for traffic coming from your left, but it isn't that difficult.

There is no merge lane at Yield signs.

Something you might not understand, IT"S NOT A MEGE LANE!!!!!!!
It's a right hand turn lane, it's designed so cars can pull off of the main road (235) and decelerate to make a RIGHT TURN.

The problem is the morons use it for everything but. It's an express lane, a merge lane but for vehicles trying to get off 235, well they just slow down or stop in the right most travel lane defeating the purpose of the "Right Hand Tunr Lane".

They have to slow down before getting into the turn lane because of the idgits coming off of route 4 who are not yeilding to oncoming traffic by trying to make the turn lane a merging lane.

people in SOMD can't drive. Simple as that.

And yet you have to get onto that lane to merge...making it ..a merge lane. There is no other way to get safely into traffic. So calling it a right turn lane doesn't change what its purpose is. If it were intended to only be used by right turning drivers..it would start at the wawa entrance..and there would be a hovercraft waiting to take you into traffic. It is intended to allow safe merging into traffic. Which can easily and simply be done without waiting untill there are no cars in a ten mile radius and pissing off everyone behind you.

Yeah, but everytime I get annoyed at someone who has had multiple opportunities to pull out, I pull up even with them and look over and it turns a white haired old lady with a death grip on the steering wheel. Give 'em a break, they've earned it.

No you don't. Maybe you need to chill, not be in such a hurry and drive smarter.
