The laws seem to vary. In Minnesota years ago, a highway patrol officer told me that "merge" meant that neither had the right of way -- merge meant figure it out and get it done without killing each other. At that place at that time one driver had the definite right of way only if the other had a yield sign (and at some ramps there were yield signs, as I've seen in other states as well). The trooper said that a ramp situation operates on the same principle if a 4-lane road is reduced to 3 lanes.
