The merging law says nothing about speed limits and half the carts are doing more than 20. I don't play chicken at the merges on either side, but the law is pretty clear: when merging, the driver who has the right-of-way is the one already traveling in the destination lane. When merging onto a highway, for example, the person doing the merging will have to yield the right-of-way to cars already on the highway.
