What should you do when you see a warning sign for a merge area?

Begin to accelerate
Prepare to yield and adjust your speed as needed
Change lanes immediately
Stop and wait

The correct answer is: Prepare to yield and adjust your speed as needed

When you encounter a warning sign for a merge area, it's essential to prepare to yield and adjust your speed as needed. This type of sign indicates that vehicles from another road or lane will be merging into your lane, which can affect traffic flow and safety. By preparing to yield, you are acknowledging that other drivers may be entering your lane and that you need to create space for them to do so safely. Adjusting your speed is crucial as it allows you to match the speed of merging vehicles or slow down if necessary to facilitate a smooth and safe merge. This approach minimizes the risk of collisions and helps maintain the overall efficiency of traffic movement. Proper anticipation and response to such signs contribute significantly to road safety and driver responsibility. The other options such as accelerating, changing lanes immediately, or stopping do not align with best practices for safely navigating merge areas and could lead to unsafe driving situations.
