Merge Lane Coding

Hi All, The Star Rating Coding manual specifies a Merge Lane as typically comprising of side-traffic joining the road being assessed. If you have a merge on the road being assessed that would result in a significant amount of vehicles merging, would you still code this as a Merge Lane? If not, how do you account for the crashes that occur at these locations?

Hi Paul. Yes, code as a marge lane and inform the number of vehicle merging in the intersecting road volume attribute.
