Don't get all pissy pants when someone is tailgating you because you are going 91km in a 90km zone, just because you aren't in a hurry doens't mean the world isn't.
No, that sign means what I linked to before in this thread. For RURAL roads BTW, not Deerfoot.

You might be thinking of THIS one...



But that is usually for passing lanes where two lane roads become three for a while. In BC they are there to let you know that the OTHER direction might be using the center lane to pass, so stay out of THEIR way.

Strike two for you. Good job. Loved the lack of knowing what a merge sign looks like.

Edit, and just in case anyone wants to know the actual verbage from the link I provided...
