When changing lanes, the left side should yield to the right side, as stipulated in traffic regulations. Below are the relevant details: Regulations: According to Article 52 of the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China", when motor vehicles pass through an intersection without traffic signal control or traffic police command, and there are traffic signs or markings, the party with the right of way should proceed first; in the absence of traffic signs or markings, vehicles should stop and look before entering the intersection, yielding to vehicles coming from the right. Traffic Rules: When vehicles from both the left and right sides are changing lanes towards the center simultaneously, the left-side vehicle must yield to the right-side vehicle. This is a safety consideration, as a collision could impact the driver's side of the right-side vehicle, hence the left-side vehicle must yield to the right-side vehicle.
