Merging traffic from the right: What does the sign pictured here mean?
Correct answer: Traffic entering from a roadway on the right must merge into your lane.
Answer options
- ATraffic entering from a roadway on the right must merge into your lane Correct
- BAn angled intersection with a side road on the right is just ahead
- CThe road ahead bends in a gentle curve toward the right
Why
This sign is used where a roadway joining from the right comes to an end and its traffic has to merge into the through lanes; on the entering road, adjust your speed and find a safe gap, and on the main road, be ready to make room. The side-road sign shows a short line meeting the main road at an intersection, while the merge sign shows the entering lane flowing into the through road.
