Intersection and Merging Lane Warning Signs

1 of 11
What does this plus-shaped symbol indicate?
A four-way intersection (crossroad) is ahead. Be aware of traffic from the left and right that may be entering your path.
What does this T-shaped sign mean?
The road you are on ends ahead at a 'T-intersection.' You must turn either left or right after yielding to all cross traffic.
How should you react to this sign?
A side road enters the highway from the direction shown (in this case, the right). Be alert for vehicles entering your lane from that side road.
What does this 'Y-Intersection' sign indicate?
The road ahead splits into two different directions. Be prepared to choose your path and watch for other traffic. There is no 'straight through' option.
What action is required when you see this 'Merging Traffic' sign?
Traffic from a side ramp or lane will be merging into your lane. You should safely make space for the merging vehicle if possible by adjusting speed or changing lanes.
As a driver on the main road, who has the right-of-way in a merging situation?
Drivers on the main road have the right-of-way. Merging traffic must yield. However, safe and courteous driving involves helping others merge when you can.
How is an 'Added Lane' sign different from a 'Merging Traffic' sign?
An 'Added Lane' sign means a new lane is being created for entering traffic, so no merging is necessary. A 'Merging Traffic' sign means vehicles must squeeze into an existing lane.
What does this 'Lane Ends' sign warn you about?
The lane you are in is ending soon. You must prepare to merge safely into the adjacent continuing lane.
What change in the roadway does this sign indicate?
The road ahead will be split by a median or physical barrier. You must keep to the right of the divider.
What hazard does the 'Divided Highway Ends' sign warn of?
The median or barrier is ending, and the road ahead will become a two-way roadway with oncoming traffic in the adjacent lane. Be prepared for this change.
What should you prepare for when you see this sign?
A roundabout (or traffic circle) is ahead. You must slow down, choose your lane, and yield to all traffic, including pedestrians and cyclists, already in the roundabout before entering.
