Warning signs
Merging traffic from the right
What it means
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.
