>A large portion of the traffic is caused by people who 1) get into the long line of cars continuing on 28 well before the merge point, and 2) cars in that line that refuse to let people in the other lane merge.

And then you have the third type of people - those in the long line who will actually get out (usually partially, just enough to block the short lane while staying in their place in the long lane) and cut you off when you're trying to get to the merge point just to stop you from "cutting in line."

Or better yet. You actually take that exit.

I usually do because it ends up being far quicker to hop over the hill to get to McKnight if that is where I am going on a day off. But if I'm not going to McKnight and instead am going to the city or someplace else in that direction, I'm going to do the zipper method that PENNDot recommends (and it seems that no one acknowledges).

Oh, i meant they stop you from "cutting" but in reality you are taking that exit

Like I said - sometimes I am, sometimes I'm not. My particular experience with people trying to block me like I mentioned wasn't on 28 though - it was at the PA/WV border where they was some construction going on and I was coming back from Cabelas.

Did a little light off roading in my rental Camry to get around the shits from the long lane who were trying to prevent me from zipper merging. Actually had two people do it that day to me.

Apparently Camrys are ORVs now.
