What is the proper procedure for merging two lanes of traffic into one lane?

The proper procedure for merging two lanes of traffic into one involves signaling your intent to merge well in advance, using your turn signal to alert other drivers. As you approach the merge point, maintain a safe speed and create space between your vehicle and others. Adjust your position smoothly, yielding to vehicles already in the lane you are merging into, and ensure you have clear visibility before completing the merge. Always prioritize safety and be aware of surrounding traffic.
