A safety system and method of providing an assisted traffic merge feature for a vehicle includes determining, with an ECU, that the vehicle is approaching a merging situation based on a first plurality of vehicle sensors. A predicted merging location is determined by the ECU based on a second plurality of vehicle sensors. An area proximate to the vehicle is monitored with at least one sensor to detect the presence of any traffic. The ECU determines if traffic will be in the merging lane when the vehicle reaches the merging location and provides a merge recommendation based upon the predicted location of traffic when the vehicle reaches the merging location.
