What is the law concerning merging onto a highway from a ramp…should trucks move over for me?
A driver entering a roadway from a roadway that is intended for and constructed as a merging roadway shall yield the right-of-way to traffic already upon the roadway and shall adjust their speed to enable them to merge safely with through traffic. Simply put, a driver merging onto a freeway must yield to traffic upon the freeway. It must be noted that traffic on the freeway cannot intentionally block a driver from merging by either speeding up or slowing down. Please see Wisconsin Regulation 346.18 (4) for details.
