No.
Our FOM requires at least one wing walker when crossing a roadway to block traffic entering the ramp.
So, no...
AIM 2-3-6. Other Markings
a. Vehicle Roadway Markings. The vehicle roadway markings are used when necessary to define a pathway for vehicle operations on or crossing areas that are also intended for aircraft. These markings consist of a white solid line to delineate each edge of the roadway and a dashed line to separate lanes within the edges of the roadway. In lieu of the solid lines, zipper markings may be used to delineate the edges of the vehicle roadway. (See FIG 2-3-18.) Details of the zipper markings are shown in FIG 2-3-19.

Your argument fails. You aren't violating your FOM by pulling up to the zipper.

No that this has been brought up on here, I hope no one will pull up to the zipper line just to make your life a little more miserable I know I won’t.
