Traffic data near the junction of a single-lane on-ramp (with a ramp meter) and a three-lane freeway were measured for six weekdays during the rush and studied. On each of these days, the merge became a bottleneck with queue discharge rates that were substantially lower than the flows that had passed the merge prior to the bottlenecks activation. On some days, these earlier high flows persisted for many minutes.
