When traffic is heavy, everyone is likely following at [what they perceive to be] a minimum following distance.
It's simply not possible to merge during heavy traffic without eating into someone's safe following distance.
The buffer exists to be used. Allowing people to merge into it makes the lane that they came from safer. Build a new buffer.
