A platoon control system includes a platoon control in communication with a plurality of individual platoon vehicle controls associated with respective platoon vehicles of a platoon of vehicles traveling along an initial traffic lane. The platoon control determines if there is sufficient clearance in another lane for the platoon of vehicles. Responsive to the platoon control, the individual platoon vehicle controls control the respective platoon vehicles to maneuver the platoon vehicles from the initial traffic lane to the other lane in a manner that limits or substantially precludes other vehicles from interrupting the platoon of vehicles. Responsive to the platoon control, the individual platoon vehicle controls control the respective platoon vehicles so that the last platoon vehicle of the platoon of vehicles enters the other lane first and then the other platoon vehicles enter the other lane ahead of the last vehicle in a predetermined controlled manner.
