I generally filter up to the front just behind the front two cars on the entrance ramp, then when the light goes green I take off with them but keep behind them.
That way the cars behind don't feel like they've lost a spot, and I'm on the motorway many many spaces before I would have been and can afford to be behind the two cars who were at the head of the queue. Probably have got out into the centre lane and passed them by the time the merge lane ends.
There are two songs, "Stairway to Heaven" and "Highway to Hell" which I think give an indication of expected traffic flow
My usual on-ramp going home is the one behind Newmarket. If I can, I filter. It's a bit narrow and people drive like c#$%s so sometimes they don't leave me enough space to get through. I usually move up and wait behind the first set of cars then go with their light. Until recently there was a nasty pothole in the right track (fixed two weeks ago) just after the two lanes merged.
At Mt Wellington there's a T2, so I take that if there's any traffic at the lights, or through the normal lanes without waiting if no one in my way.
'S'all good! I should've gotten over into the T2 lane at the start of the onramp, but to keep momentum I just continued through the queue to the front and kept going. No one in this queue seemed to mind.
