What is a "merge"?
A merge is the point where two or more roads or lanes of traffic come together, and vehicles must combine into a single lane. This typically occurs at the end of an entrance ramp or when multiple lanes of traffic converge. Drivers need to adjust their speed and position to smoothly join the traffic flow without causing disruptions. It typically involves giving way to others to ensure a safe and efficient transition.
Example
