I went on a trip yesterday and I tried it, it sure didn't seem to work at all, one person who is stubborn, slow or whatever can mess the whole thing up.

I think it is the law in PA, but it is at the very least, posted to use both lanes to merge point and then alternate. It worked well in my experience. It was quite a shock when i moved to Maryland and merging was so lawless.
