Zipper, merge left, merge right, alternate feed, alternate merge... all this means nothing if the driver could care less about following the rules. So long as you have people who feel it’s a great personal accomplishment akin to curing cancer if they manage to just get one car ahead of where they were supposed to be, you will always have problems.
The best I’ve seen at any two to one lane changes has been the physical (erection of parallel speed humps or delineation poles, the use of metered lights (no personal interpretation of a green or red light) and strict enforcement. Otherwise they may work most of the time, but you'll always have that jerk.
