Merging traffic sign
W4-1 / Warning signs
A merge warning sign tells you that traffic streams join ahead. Be ready for vehicles entering your path. The symbol indicates which side the joining road is on; it does not assign the right-of-way by itself.

What should you do?
Check mirrors and nearby lanes, leave a useful gap and adjust speed smoothly. Follow any yield signs and lane markings at the merge.
A useful distinction
An added-lane sign shows two separate continuing arrows. A merge sign shows the streams becoming one.
