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.

Where do you usually find ''yield right-of-way'' signs posted?
Generally "Yield Right of Way", "Yield" or "Yield Ahead" signs are posted on "approaches to a through street or Highway where conditions are such that a stop is not always required" in the United States. They are also sometimes used in the merging of traffic where safety dictates that one or more lanes must give right of way to the other lanes. Most often yield signs are posted where there is sufficient visibility that merging traffic does not necessarily have to come to a stop before entering a roadway, although you still MUST yield the right-of-way to traffic in that lane.

According to Canadian traffic law, merging traffic and traffic flow have the same right of way.
