Added Lane
warning sign · diamond · yellow
Two roadways join ahead but a new lane is added — no merging required from either side.
- Visual breakdown
- Yellow diamond with two parallel arrows converging alongside each other without joining into one.
- Shape recognition
- Two arrows stay side by side — compare the merge sign, where one arrow bends into the other.
- Color recognition
- Yellow warning that here, uniquely, means relax: everyone keeps a lane.
- Memory trick
- Added lane = no blending needed. Two arrows, two lanes, zero conflict.
- Real-world example
- An on-ramp that becomes its own highway lane: the entering driver doesn't need a gap, and the highway driver doesn't need to make one.
- Common mistakes
- Braking to 'let the ramp in' when no merge exists — unnecessary and rear-ends the flow. Know the difference from W4-1 (Merge).
- Quick recall method
- Parallel arrows = new lane added, no merge.
