In Norwegian traffic rules (Vegtrafikkloven), how should traffic merge when two lanes narrow into one under the zipper merge principle (fletting, sign 530)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Merge alternately using zipper merge (fletting)
- Step 1: Under § 8 of Trafikkreglene and sign 530, neither lane has priority; drivers must cooperate with mutual courtesy and merge alternately. Answer: Merge alternately using zipper merge (fletting). Why not the others: the alternative options do not conform to statutory traffic regulations under the Norwegian Road Traffic Act (Vegtrafikkloven and Trafikkreglene).
