What Does Merge Sign Mean? 

A “Merge” sign is a warning traffic sign designed to alert drivers that two separate roadways will converge into a single lane.

Characteristics:

• Shape: Typically diamond-shaped with a yellow background and black border.
• Symbol: A black arrow merging into another line, indicating the convergence of lanes.
• Placement: Usually positioned on the right side of the road before the merging point.

Purpose:

• To warn drivers of an upcoming merge where traffic from different lanes will need to combine.
• To encourage drivers to adjust their speed and position to facilitate a smooth and safe merge.
• To enhance overall safety by promoting awareness and caution in areas where lane reduction occurs.

Remember:

• This sign indicates that you should be prepared to merge with traffic from another lane.
• Watch for other vehicles and be ready to adjust your speed or change lanes as necessary.
• Use your turn signals to indicate your intention to merge, and be considerate of other drivers merging into your lane.
