Yeah but they don't; priority to the right never happens on motorways, all insertions lanes have “Cédez le passage” signs.

Do you know of any official government-supplied reference for this information? No worries if not, but I'm trying to find something definitive because I am seeing opposing information all over the place (including on authoritative-sounding travel/tourism sites).
I see from checking Google Maps that, indeed, the merging lanes all have a yield sign in them (from the handful I checked). Now I'm wondering "do they have the sign because otherwise the merging vehicle WOULD have the right of way?" or "is this just a friendly reminder of what would legally be the case even if the sign wasn't there?"
(edit: I seem to have found the relevant regulations at https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/codes/section_lc/LEGITEXT0000... , article R415-8 seems to cover it)
