The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).

You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

It is the job of the person merging onto the freeway to find a safe place to merge. The person on the freeway is also able to move out of the right lane if they so desire, but they aren't required to from what I understand.

All of that said, I see people being center lane campers all the time whether it be in the middle of a city, where it's arguably fine, to rural but populated areas where it causes traffic, to the middle of nowhere, where it isn't inconveniencing me, but is just weird.

Part of merging is to let the vehicles merging safely merge. That might mean slowing down a bit, speeding up a bit for a moment or moving a lane over. The only time when doing nothing for a merging vehicle is okay is when there's literally nothing you can do due to the quantity of traffic

But it's entirely unreasonable and incredibly dangerous to expect someone on a freeway onramp to stop and wait for an opening. Drivers must leave enough room to allow a speed-appropriate merge in front of them.

When did I say stop and wait for an opening? Don't stop on an on-ramp.
