Merging: It's Not That Hard
I've noticed that it appears that merging is not a strong point for drivers in our area. People really don't want to let other drivers in and don't seem to understand that you can still use both lanes up until it ends, but other drivers need to let them in. Maybe this video by the Missouri Department of Transportation of adults in cardboard cars will help.
SRTC is the federally designated Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for Spokane County. Urbanized areas with populations exceeding 50,000 people are required to have an MPO. SRTC was formed to address the county's transportation planning needs. It provides coordination in planning between the public, cities, small towns, the county, the state, transit providers, and tribes.
SRTC offers services including transportation monitoring, transportation modeling, census information analysis, travel demand forecasting, historical traffic count analysis, geographic information systems, and trip generation rates.
