How do you enter traffic flow and which right-a-way situations must you yield at?

The merging vehicle and that of any driver on the road must slow down to allow you to merge in safely. They will need to adjust their carÕs speed and position in the road.

So watch and make sure there is enough distance ahead and behind for you to move.
