You're not supposed to let people over. The onus is on the car merging to fit into traffic,not traffic to allow for cars to merge. It is the polite thing to do, but not anywhere close to a legal or societal "supposed to".
Yeah, usually one has those upsidedown triangles signalling loss of priority (basicly a stop sign, without the need to actually full stop). Good drivers do alternate traffic, it's about matching speeds, one gets in, the other continues, another gets in, the next goes one and so on so on. It's the civil thing to do, but not everyone has the same sense.
