Warning signs

Right lane ends

What it means

The right lane ends ahead. If you are in the right lane, merge left when it is safe.

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

Summarised from the Official MTO Driver’s Handbook. Read the original: MTO Driver’s Handbook – Signs ↗

How to recognise it

A yellow diamond showing two lanes, the right one curving in to end in the left one, with a dashed line between them.

Where you will see it

The end of a passing lane or a climbing lane, where a road drops from two lanes to one, and past construction zones.

What to do when you see it

  1. 1.If you are in the right lane, signal left and merge into the left lane as soon as there is a safe gap.
  2. 2.Do not race to the end of the lane and force your way in.
  3. 3.If you are in the left lane, hold a steady speed and let merging cars in.

On the G1 test

The handbook is explicit: if you are in the right-hand lane, you must merge safely with traffic in the lane to the left. The duty is on the driver in the ending lane.
