This doesn't mean that the concept of using both lanes until the merge point is bad... it means that some people are really fucking bad at driving and don't know how to merge effectively / appropriately.

How so it’s not merging two lanes into one. It’s two lanes one goes straight and then other is an exit lane.

You're being pedantic, so I'll join you. IMO, technically it's two merge points simultaneously happening at the same time along with a third merge point from the right due to the on-ramp from Delafield.

The one merge point in question now has a long line.

The problem isn't the merge point and it isn't people using both lanes until that merge point exists... the problem is people driving poorly, putting themselves into a situation where they can no longer merge, and then stopping the other lane.

If you are even a below-average driver, there is no issue.
