merging
In most instances a lane of travel will be marked as the lane that is merging with the other lane or lanes. If so, the lane that is NOT ending has the right of way. When entering a freeway or Interstate roadway, the traffic already on the main lanes of travel has the right of way and the entering traffic has the duty to "merge" safely with the traffic already flowing on the main lanes.
Some traffic will always be through-traffic. A "thru lane" keeps those folks moving at a constant speed, while other lanes handle the craziness of exiting and merging.
A short lane at the end of an entrance ramp that allows entering traffic to build up speed, before merging in to into main travel lanes.
Yes. Be careful to mind drivers while merging, they could be switching lanes as you merge.
Well, yes, it warns you that the lanes are going to merge soon into one road. If it wasn't there, drivers may not understand that they must adjust their speeds to safely merge, rather than assume other traffic must wait for them.
In the United States, yellow lines divide lanes of oncoming traffic. A solid yellow line indicates you cannot safely or legally pass a vehicle in front of you by merging into the oncoming traffic lane; a broken yellow line indicates you can legally and safely pass a vehicle in front of you by merging into the oncoming traffice land after determining there is no oncoming traffic.
Traffic lanes are narrower on the north east coast because they were constructed in to be that way.
London Bridge has three lanes of traffic in each direction. From the north bank to the south bank there are three lanes of traffic for all vehicles. From the south to the north, there are two lanes of traffic for all vehicles plus one bus lane.
The Sydney Harbour Bridge carries eight lanes of vehicular traffic. There are also two train lines, a pedestrian footpath and a cycleway. The width of the bridge is almost 49 metres.
No, it is not an adverb. Traffic is a noun, which can also be used as an adjunct or adjective (traffic laws, traffic lanes).
Changing lanes across that a solid white line in traffic is not permitted.
