From Wikipedia - In traffic engineering, the late merge or zipper method is a convention for merging traffic into a reduced number of lanes. Drivers in merging lanes are expected to use both lanes to advance to the lane reduction point and merge at that location, alternating turns.

The speed listed on the bright yellow signs at the merge point in the Villages is 20 MPH. If a car driver isn’t going to merge correctly, then it naturally follows that a golf cart driver should yield to that car driver for safety sake.
