Lane ends
Warning signs

Lane ends

One lane ends ahead, so prepare to merge into a lane that continues.

Check mirrors and blind spots, signal as appropriate, and merge when it is safe. The warning is normally placed before the lane ends.

The United States’ W4-2R is a yellow diamond with a black lane reduction diagram. The right edge tapers towards the continuing lane, showing that the right lane ends.
