The lane that doesn't end has priority.

Typically there is a sign stating which lane ends. The ending lane needs to yield to the other lane when merging.
If you are merging onto a highway from an on ramp you need to yield to those vehicles already on the highway. I know most people think the vehicles on the highway need to move over and yield to the cars on the ramp but this is a misconception.
The best thing to do when driving is to be courteous. We all get wrapped up in trying to be first.

The traffic lane that does not end has the priority. The merging lane must yield to them.

The left lane gives way to traffic on the right.

I think that the left lane gives way to the right lane.
Usually there is a sign telling you which way to merge.

If there are arrows, or other road markings, on the road in one lane to suggest that vehicles on that lane should merge into the other lane, then those in the lane without arrows have right-of-way.
If there are no arrows, then the rule is "merge in turn". i.e. if the nose of your car is behind that of the car in the other lane then you should give way to it, but the car behind it should give way to you. This assumes that drivers will be courteous.

We have a spot on the interstate that is just like you're talking about. No signs or anything. Both lanes are just into one. Neither one really goes straight. I always let the car to the right have the right of way.

More often than not, there will be a sign stating which lane is ending. I wouldn't say one would have the right of way. A little common sense, and courtesy is in order.

at the same time as turning left from a left lane, the overall rule of thumb is to stay in that lane. yet in case you crashed, i do not comprehend how the coverage corporation ought to deal with it. you may nicely be assigned component to the fault because you had a yield signal. You had a duty to yield until eventually both lanes were clean.

It is usually where one car from one goes first, followed by one from the next, returning to the first, back to the second ect... But if a driver from one of the lanes is slow, very often one or more cars will cut this person off. The drivers should be courteos but also quickly take their place as it opens up.

The lane going away YIELDS (legally) to the remaining lane.
However, everyone does not know or adhere to this, And sometimes it is really difficult to make an opening to let another vehicle in.
So don't be DEAD RIGHT insisting on your right of way. Really Big vehicles (Semi's) are not as Agile as littler vehicles. Give them a brake.
