What are the rules for merging from three lanes into two lanes?

Slow down and proceed with normal driving. Considerations for lane changing include: 1. Situations where lane changes are not allowed: When encountering situations where lane changes are not permitted during driving, follow the traffic flow. While continuing with the traffic flow, pay special attention to other traffic conditions and cautiously return to the original planned route. 2. Avoiding obstacles: When changing lanes, do so appropriately in advance; prevent vehicles in adjacent lanes from affecting the lane change, which could lead to braking, stopping, or forcing a lane change, potentially causing a collision. 3. During lane changes: Avoid abruptly turning the steering wheel into the adjacent lane to prevent collisions with suddenly appearing vehicles or skidding due to slippery road surfaces. Lane changes should not be too slow; driving long distances over lane markings can affect other vehicles. Generally, lane changes should be completed within 50-60 meters. Each lane change should only be to an adjacent lane; if changing to a lane beyond the adjacent one, first change to the adjacent lane, drive for a while, then change to the next lane. Do not change more than two lanes consecutively. In sections where lane dividers are solid or dashed, vehicles on the solid line side are strictly prohibited from changing lanes. 4. Dedicated turning lanes: When turning at an intersection, observe road signs or directional arrows on the road. Before entering the solid line area, change lanes according to the directional arrows based on the chosen route. For a right turn, change to the right lane to enter the right-turn dedicated lane; for a left turn, change to the left lane to enter the left-turn dedicated lane.
