How to merge lanes?

Remember these steps when changing lanes or merging:

 

1. Match the speed of traffic in the lane you want to merge into.

2. Ensure you have enough space (3-5 seconds is recommended).

3. Check your blind spot before merging to ensure the lane is empty.

4. Only change lanes where it’s legal to do so (indicated by a dashed white line between lanes).

5. Use your turn signal several seconds in advance of your lane change to alert other drivers.

6. Be especially attentive and eliminate driving distractions when merging or changing lanes.
