In Germany, vehicles merging from a slip road or acceleration lane must yield to traffic already on the main road. The main road traffic always has priority.
No, drivers on the main road are not legally obliged to move to another lane to facilitate merging traffic. While it is courteous and recommended if traffic conditions allow, they are not required to do so. The merging driver must find a safe gap.
No, the zipper merge principle applies when two lanes merge into one, typically due to a lane closure. It does not apply to merging from a slip road or acceleration lane onto a main road or Autobahn. In merging from a slip road, the merging vehicle must yield.
Drivers on an acceleration lane should observe the flowing traffic, adjust their speed to match it (often accelerating quickly), use their indicator, and merge when a safe gap appears, always yielding to main road traffic. You may drive faster on the acceleration lane than on the main road to achieve this.
In most cases, the merging vehicle is primarily at fault for an accident at a merge point if they failed to yield to traffic on the main road. The main road driver is only at fault if they actively changed lanes into the merging vehicle or caused the collision through another traffic violation.
By completing Merging Priority, you will gain stronger rule knowledge, faster recognition of signs and situations, better decision making in traffic scenarios, and increased accuracy on exam style questions used in Germany. These outcomes directly support higher scoring exam performance.
