I am having trouble having traffic merge from an on-ramp onto the my mainline using the animation tools. Some of them merge but a majority of them just sit at the end of the lane causing traffic to backup, any suggestions?
Hi,
The reason the vehicles will slow down and stop at the end of the on ramp is if there is a vehicle on the main carriage way which is stopping them merging. So you probably have too many vehicles on your main carriageway. Try and delete a few, this should help.

Like Paul said you can delete a few cars or better yet count the cars getting through and then with animator at frame zero or refresh the screen count back in that lane and delete the car that causes the jam. Another thing that works well is to use the edit lane tool to slow down the main lane and speed up the entrance lane by a few miles/hour or K/hour.
Cheers,
