Well I ask you, how far before the 300 metre merge warning sign should I merge ? A km before hand? sooner ? then what is the point of building the lane? The lane is there to take on the additional volume of traffic.

And those have been there for years now.
A Kitchener participant on the Canada's Worst Driver show a few years ago specifically asked Cam Woolley (former OPP Sergeant) if she had to merge left at the Sportsworld to Hwy 8 North on-ramp, and his answer was basically "Yes, absolutely." I'm sure it was just a mis-understanding of our local ramps on his part but I face-palmed hard. That participant did _not_ need their bad behaviour re-enforced by a trusted spokesperson on national TV.
