Merge into the Proper Lane

In general, at construction zones, one or more lanes remain closed for construction by leaving at least one lane open for traffic flow.

• If the lane in which you are driving is open, then maintain your lane.
• If informed about lane closure or diversion ahead, then merge into the lane which is open well before the point of the lane closure.
• Check for a safe gap, indicate the turning (use turning indicators) at least 5 sec before starting to change the lane, and complete the lane change by taking another 10 sec at least, as shown below.
  
• Do not overtake in construction zones. Overtaking at construction zone is unsafe mainly due to limited space and/ or inadequate sight distance.
