Warning, Construction & Information SignsStandalone practice
You are driving on a main road. A yellow diamond sign shows a straight line with a shorter line joining it from the right. What should you expect?

Correct answer: Traffic will join from the right, so watch and adjust your space
Why
Merge signs are placed before ramps and lanes that feed into the main road. The entering driver must yield, but a crash can still happen if you do not see the merging car in time, so check your mirrors and give it space. When it is safe and legal, moving one lane to the left makes the merge easier for everyone.
