GORES
The term “gore” refers to the area of convergence between two lanes of traffic. A gore is the area, usually similar to a triangle, formed by solid white lines between an existing lane of travel and a merging lane of travel. Gores are often seen at the convergence of an acceleration lane and the adjacent travel lane on a freeway or other controlled access highway. The gore is the area bounded by solid white lines between the acceleration lane and the adjacent travel lanes. Drivers entering a freeway or other controlled access highway are prohibited by law from crossing this solid white line. Drivers and are required to continue traveling in the acceleration lane until the solid white line disappears.
