Merging and Ramp Signs
Merge signs are essential traffic control devices that provide clear visual guidance to drivers, informing them that their current lane is about to end and instructing them to safely and seamlessly merge into an adjacent lane, typically designated by text or an arrow pointing in the direction of the required merge, in order to maintain a smooth flow of traffic and prevent accidents or congestion on the road.
Ramp signs are essential traffic control devices that help maintain safety on roads, particularly at highway exits and entrance ramps. These signs are designed to provide drivers with critical information about upcoming ramps, preventing accidents such as truck rollovers and ensuring smooth navigation.
