Depends on what you mean by a “gap”. If you mean entering the outside lane next to or near a car in the inside lane, you’re incorrect. If you mean a space with no cars in either lane, OK.

The RAB at Morse and Stillwater is the most incorrectly driven one, IMO. Too many cars travelling east on Stillwater intending to go north on Morse do so in the outside lane. They do so to facilitate using the bypass lane at the next RAB. Traffic exiting Caroline should be able to proceed when an eastbound car enters from Stillwater in the outside lane as their only two options are southbound Morse or continue eastbound on Stillwater. It does not help that you can’t tell whether the car is going to proceed properly into the Caroline gate or illegally continue around until the last second. As a result, traffic backs up exiting Caroline. Realistically, there is plenty of time to correctly use this RAB and merge to use the bypass lane.
