Warning signs

Added lane ahead

What it means

A road joins from the right ahead and becomes an added lane. Watch for traffic entering beside you.

Yellow diamonds (and five-sided yellow-green school signs) warn of hazards ahead.

Summarised from ICBC’s Learn to Drive Smart. Read the original: Signs signals and road markings ↗

How to recognise it

A yellow diamond with two black arrows side by side: the right one curves in from the side and a dividing line keeps it in its own lane.

Where you will see it

Highways where a road or ramp joins from the right and continues as an extra lane.

What to do when you see it

  1. 1.Expect vehicles to appear in a new lane on your right.
  2. 2.Keep your lane and check your mirror and blind spot before any move to the right.

On the knowledge test

Look for the line between the arrows. It means the joining road becomes an added lane to the right, which is different from traffic merging into your lane.
