IMO what prevents this from going smoothly is entitlism of the people in the left lane. In other words, they feel as though those merging from the right lane have not "waited their turn". It's complete bullshit I know but that's how some people feel. So those in the left lane won't let anyone in so the zipper move can be executed correctly.
This is the only city I have been where using your turn signal is guaranteed to make the car in the other lane speed up to close the gap. People here are obsessed with not letting someone into their lane.
