Mayor Offers His Shirt To Get Sioux Falls To Zipper Merge!

Sioux Falls Mayor Paul TenHaken is offering you the shirt off his back! Here's how to win!

There is a lot of traffic construction in Sioux Falls right now, and Sioux Falls Mayor Paul TenHaken wants to get the word out that we all need to “Feel The Urge To Zipper Merge”!

Someone will win Sioux Falls Mayor Paul TenHaken's cool T-shirt for the Best Zipper Merge Pun!

A zipper merge is a method of merging lanes where drivers in both lanes use the available road space until the lane ends, then take turns merging into the open lane in a zipper-like fashion. 

This technique helps keep traffic moving more smoothly and safely, especially during construction or lane closures. 

In an effort to smooth out traffic flow in the many Sioux Falls street construction zones and bring awareness to increasing drive time efficiency, Mayor TenHaken posted this offer on his Facebook page...

“Don’t ignore the urge. Zipper merges decrease backups by 40%. They aren’t rude. They are efficient!

As we continue to invest in our expanding road network, let’s embrace the zipper, baby!
