If traffic from another roadway is merging onto the roadway you are traveling on, you must

• A. adjust your speed and vehicle position to allow the traffic to merge.
• B. change lanes immediately.
• C. ignore merging traffic because you have the right-of-way.
• D. sound your horn to let the merging traffic know you are there.

Answer: (A)

When merging traffic enters the roadway you’re on, the safest approach is to adjust your speed and vehicle position to allow the merge. Creating a little space gives the entering drivers time to fit into your lane smoothly, which helps keep traffic flowing and reduces the risk of a crash. You can achieve this by easing off slightly or, if it’s safe, changing lanes to create a gap. Always signal and check mirrors before changing speed or position. Don’t ignore the merge, don’t block it by maintaining the same speed, and avoid using the horn as a solution—adjusting your driving to accommodate the merge is the responsible choice.
