    your representation is literally the same as just merging at earliest convenience except you have a magical scenario where the earliest convenience is at the last second and no one has to slow down (and i want to stress this part) again magically

  • @johnmsteen
    @johnmsteen Před 9 dny

    When traffic is moving at or near speed, it's better to merge early so that traffic continues moving. If you go to the end of the lane and try to merge, it will cause a chain reaction. A car in the open lane will have to stop to let you in, which will cause all the traffic behind them to also stop. Zipper merging only works in bumper-to-bumper traffic when traffic is already at a near stop.

    You don't paint the steel beams? I would think painting with weather protection or powder coat or anything would prolong the life of the bridge and make it worth the effort. idk but personally as a tax payer I would rather spend up front than risk it

    • @glennfoster2423
      @glennfoster2423 Před 2 dny

      Not to worry. When the bridge exceeds the limits of its design and materials life, it cal be replaced more efficiently with new, stronger and easier things to work with built on a 3D "platform" of extrusion and completion on one afternoon (relative to today's methods) at one-tenth the cost of dollars and time. A protoje of Elan's is thinking about it as we speak

      This is Beartooth Pass on a Plateau. It takes awhile to get to this point. More snowier years they might not this far on mountain pass highway. This is closed from late October to when they start in mid April. Alot of years Montana Highway Department gets done snowplowing before or by Memorial Day Holiday. Wyoming Highway Department or Yellowstone National Park snowplowing crews may not get done on Wyoming side until June. This pass is like 78 miles long too. It is on record of snowing on this mountain pass highway every month of the year. Glacier National Park with snowplowing, road repair, reinstalling those wooden guardrails, that it wasn't opened up completely until in July. They close down the park as well as late October. Here's a CZcams video filmed in June on the Wyoming side of this pass. "Driving Montana and Wyoming's Beartooth Pass" June 16, 2011 by reflyerdude

    I love the zipper merge. I can get ahead of many cars, all of them just sitting there as if they’re in no hurry at all. I zip by them and then come to a stop at the barrels, put on my signal, and force my way back into the open lane. So long, suckers. I’ve got places to be.

    Interesting plow blade. Are you just leveling off the snow drift or are you supposed to clear the road?

    • @MontanaDOT
      @MontanaDOT Před 2 měsíci

      The ultimate goal is to clear the road, but our crew has an arsenal of equipment for different scenarios as needed on this highway. The snow cat (the piece of equipment in this video) handles the deeper/rockier drifts and gets it down to where the snowblower and other equipment can work.

      No, we don't open it early for cyclists. The tentative opening for all modes of transportation is the Friday of Memorial Day weekend, weather dependent.

    • @allenra530
      @allenra530 Před 2 měsíci

      That is an extreme environment up there. Even after they get the road open, it is very cold, windy and the top of the pass in over 10,000 feet. Wait until July, at least. The road is also narrow up on top. There is barely room for the car traffic. I have not seen any bicycles on the upper reaches of the road any time I have been over it. You need to be accustomed to high altitudes before you go up there or you can get altitude sickness and even die.

  • @erikwilliam1254
    @erikwilliam1254 Před 3 měsíci

    I hope the crew on this job at least cleared the snow off the guardrails. The snow can act as a ramp defeating the purpose of the guardrails if buried. I know that's happened with concrete barriers on interstate junctions. I'd assume the same could happen with guardrails.

    • @palco22
      @palco22 Před 3 měsíci

      Just avoid guardrails and concrete barriers and any other form of ramps and you'll be ok. ... and avoid trees, signs, utility poles, lamp posts, curbs, buildings, ditches, culverts, bridge abutments and well, just about anything that could hurt.
