GIBSONTON, Fla. -- This week's Traffic Inbox touches on a topic that many of us are either guilty of or have experienced first-hand -- cutting in on turn lanes.

It's especially bad at one intersection in Gibsonton from U.S. Highway 301 to Interstate 75.

The traffic line heads toward the northbound interstate entrance ramp, where drivers like Dave McKinney start to see red because of people cutting in.

"I have watched this trend grow, as well as drivers becoming more aggressive. A lot of drivers are fed up with those cutting in line and refuse to let them in," McKinney said.

McKinney said it gets so bad that drivers trying to merge at the last minute and can't get in drive up to the entrance designed for eastbound drivers and use that.

"This week, I witnessed one driver cutting into the turn lane, forcing the truck already holding that spot into the grass, because neither wanted to give way," he said.

The Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office has been out here with enforcement in the past. But without a deputy assigned to the location on a regular basis, the issues continue.

This is something we see frequently, according to Real Time Traffic Expert Chuck Henson. No one can make another driver be courteous, but at the same time, it's not right for a single car to speed to the front while everyone else has waited patiently in the single lane designated for the ramp.

On the other side of this issue, many times Henson gets mail about construction situations where there is a lane merge and the complaint is the same -- drivers who've gotten over early are frustrated with those who drive right up to the merge spot and then try to get in.

In this case those front of the line drivers are right. It's called a zipper merge, and if all traffic would use both lanes then merge at the end, everyone would get through faster.
