Where two traffic streams merge and no lane markings decide priority, what is the recommended zipper-merging practice?
ʻI he fakataha ha ongo tafe me'alele pea ʻikai ha laine vali ʻoku fakapapau'i ʻa e totonu ke mu'omu'a, ko e hā e founga fakataha hangē ha sipi ʻoku fokotu'u atu?
Where no lane markings determine priority, merge alternately like a zip, letting one vehicle in.
Kapau ʻoku ʻikai fakapapau'i ʻe ha laine vali e totonu ke mu'omu'a, fetongitongi ʻi he fakataha hangē ha sipi, ʻo tuku ha me'alele ʻe 1 ke hū mai.

Marked lane changes and give-way controls retain their own rules. Zipper merging does not justify forcing a gap or require a fixed 40 km/h speed.
ʻOku kei ʻi ai e ngaahi tu'utu'uni makehe ki he liliu laine kuo faka'ilonga'i mo e ngaahi faka'ilonga tuku ke mu'omu'a. ʻOku ʻikai fakatonuhia'i ʻe he fakataha hangē ha sipi ʻa e fakamālohi ha avanoa pe fiema'u ha vave pau 40 km/h.
