Space,
Exactly. Around here on Long Island and within the surrounding areas (Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Staten Island, Westchester, etc), you do whatever it takes to merge regardless of whether it's the "right" or "wrong" way. Why? Because you have no choice. Drivers aren't courteous at all and typically will not let you merge and/or make it unnecessarily difficult and dangerous to merge.
The most common behaviors are speeding up to prevent you from exiting the on-ramp onto the highway and/or speeding up to intentionally close an available gap. I don't understand the mindset of these flemwads.
'course, drivers on the on-ramp often just move from it onto the highway without checking to see if they make do it safely. I suspect one of the reasons they do it is because they're accustomed to rude drivers who won't let them merge in and feel they must do what they must to get on the highway.
