Explanation
A "merging traffic" sign on the freeway indicates that vehicles may be merging into your lane from another roadway or ramp. In this example, the traffic will be entering your lane from the right. Entering traffic must yield to traffic already on the freeway. If it is safe to do so, you should consider moving to another lane to allow traffic to enter.
