Fellow Factorians.
I hope you guys have a solution for a problem I have been having.
Seeing that a picture says more than a thousand words here is a screenshot of the problem.
Thank you in advance.

Make the 1 lane a faster belt.

But doesn't that make my throughput significantly lower?

There are several options:
A) replace the belts where you painted the blue arrows on (not those the arrows pointing to) with blue belt.
B) replace the whole line (DaveMacW suggested)
C) create a balancer before that , see

D) think about redesign, cause a half belt can only transport half of the items.
E) live with it.

Thank you very much good Sir.
The balancer seems to somewhat fix the problem.
Redesign is most probably not far away tho.
