Yep, the person speeding up and blowing by everyone who's merged is annoying, but (having learned in many traffic engineering classes) it's actually the law in some states and the preferred traffic flow in most states to stay in your lane past the notifcation signs right up UNTIL the merge points. It's called "late merge zipper". It's not what we were all taught as "polite" driving, but it actually makes traffic flow better when implemented correctly.
