Merging Road Rules
There are two types of merging situations. Zip Merge and Lane End Merge.
Look for lines marked on the road to tell the difference.
Lane End Merge
Lane End Merge. Crossing a dotted lane end line
Car B is crossing a dotted “lane end” so must give way, waiting for car A to pass.
Car B must also signal because they are preparing to leave their lane.
Zip Merge
Zip Merge. No lines to cross, two lines of traffic coming together.
The concept is simple. The car in front goes first. It does not matter who is on the left or right.
Car A is ahead of Car B. The road is narrowing and all vehicles are being forced into one line of traffic. Car B must give way by dropping back allowing Car A to move in front.
If Car B were ahead, then Car A must give way.
These cars may have been in two marked lanes or perhaps in two lines of traffic on a wide unlaned road.
Simple enough :0)
