Sample question from test 4
signs
What traffic pattern is indicated by a MERGE sign?
- The driver will join other traffic traveling in the same direction
- Opposing traffic will begin using the driver's lane
- The roadway ends and every vehicle must turn around
- A divided highway is changing into a railroad crossing
Answer: The driver will join other traffic traveling in the same direction. A merge warning means traffic will join the driver’s flow in the same direction. Drivers entering from the right must yield to traffic on the main route, while the speed-change lane helps everyone blend smoothly. This is not an opposing-lane warning or a dead-end instruction. Check mirrors, maintain space, and adjust speed predictably so entering vehicles can merge without abrupt braking.
