Hello,
sumo has two distinct interpretations of what it means when the number of
lanes changes from on edge to the next
1) an on-ramp type of situation where the ending lane is subordinate to the
continuing lane and is only used to accelerate (the default). In this case
vehicles try to leave the ending lane as soon as possible. The distance to
the lane end where vehicles attempt to leave the merging lane can be
configured with the lane-change model parameter lcStrategic. (see
http://sumo.dlr.de/wiki/Definition_of_Vehicles,_Vehicle_Types,_and_Routes#Lane-Changing_Models).
Note, that the models treat the case where the rightmost lane ends slightly
different from the case where the leftmost lane ends but by default
vehicles try to avoid staying on the ending lane.

2) a zipper type situation where both lanes are to be used until the
merging point and vehicles interleave. This case is configured by setting
the node where both edges meet to type 'zipper'

regards,
Jakob
