Freeways & High-Speed RoadsStandalone practice
You drive on a freeway. The overhead signal above your lane changes to a yellow X with the word MERGE. What does this signal tell you?
Correct answer: Your lane is ending, so get ready to merge safely into an open lane.
Why
The yellow X gives you time to make a smooth lane change before the lane closes. The signals farther ahead often show a red X over the same lane, so do not wait until the last moment. Adjust your speed to fit into a gap, and help other merging drivers when you can.
