Entry continues in its own lane
The sign indicates that entry continues in its own lane.
When you see the sign
Continue in the lane you are driving in; the entry lane continues as a separate lane and does not end in a conventional merge. Follow the lane markings, adjust your speed to the traffic, and change lanes only when this can be done without danger or unnecessary obstruction.
Rules
- The sign indicates that the entry continues as a separate lane.
- You do not need to move into the adjacent lane just because the entry section ends.
- If you later want to change lanes, you must give way to traffic in the lane you are moving into.
- The sign does not set a speed limit and does not, in itself, give you priority.
Tips
- Look at the lane markings and check that your lane actually continues ahead.
- Adjust your speed so that you have a good overview and avoid unnecessary, sudden lane changes.
- Use your mirrors, check your blind spot and signal if you choose to change lanes.
- Do not force your way into the adjacent lane when it is safe and appropriate to continue in your own lane.
Common misconceptions
- Thinking that the entry lane ends immediately, so you have to merge into the adjacent lane.
- Interpreting the sign as a motorway sign or as information about which speed limit applies.
- Thinking that the sign gives you the right to move directly into the adjacent lane without giving way.
Test yourself
Easy
What does the sign mean?
- AA lane for heavy traffic begins.
- BThe traffic rules for motorveg begin to apply.
- CThe on-ramp continues in a separate lane.
- DThe on-ramp lane narrows towards the adjacent lane.
Medium
You pass the sign in an on-ramp lane. What should you do when the on-ramp section ends?
- AImmediately reduce your speed to 50 km/t and switch on the hazard warning lights.
- BContinue in the lane and adjust your speed to the traffic.
- CStop in the lane and wait for a gap.
- DImmediately change to the adjacent lane and expect to be let in.
Hard
You have passed the sign and later want to change to the adjacent lane. Which rule applies?
- AYou have vikeplikt only if the road is also signed as a motorveg.
- BYou have forkjørsrett because the sign cancels vikeplikt when changing lanes.
- CYou have forkjørsrett because your lane started as an on-ramp lane.
- DYou have vikeplikt for traffic in the lane you want to enter.
Theory test tip
Look for the difference between an entry lane that continues and one that narrows and must merge with another lane. The trap is often to answer that you must change lanes immediately, even though the sign shows that your lane continues.
Did you know
The sign is typically used at entries where the ramp forms a new, continuous lane instead of ending in an acceleration lane. This can reduce unnecessary lane changes when traffic enters a road with several lanes.
Frequently asked questions
Do I have to move to the left when I see the sign?
No, you can continue in your own lane. If you want to change lanes, you must do so according to the usual rules for changing lanes.
Do I have to give way to vehicles in the adjacent lane?
Not as long as you continue in your own lane without moving into their lane. When changing lanes, you must give way to traffic in the lane you are moving into.
Does the sign mean that the road is a motorway?
No, the sign only indicates how the entry and the lane continue. A motorway is indicated by a separate sign.
Do I have to use my turn signal when continuing in the lane?
You should not signal as if you were changing lanes when you are simply following your own lane. Signal well in advance if you are actually going to change lanes.
