But the distance you travel in a single, slower lane becomes less if you wait to merge. So if the single lane is slower than the two double lanes, efficiency is gained by merging at the last opportunity.

Bob,
That's not really true.
Make the pipe as big as you want (as many lanes) before the
constriction (to one lane).
Traffic flow will not improve.

If everyone merges early they still need to know the rule to avoid huge jams in one or both lanes, but the unused lane is no longer serving traffic, so
the total speed of the traffic is much slower.
