Kinda reminds me of a "merge" I tried to make in New Orleans about 26 years ago. There was a street sign - only it was about 1/3 normal size and it said "STOP". Most ramps actually have a merge lane. This one didn't and I neer saw the STOP sign. End result - I got hit by a car moving along the highway in the right lane. Sure they had right of way but anyone unfamiliar with the intersection would never guess the ramp abruptly stopped with no merge lane what so ever - unless they read the street sign. Clear road signing is helpful.
