The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for host vehicle navigation. In one implementation, a navigation system for a host vehicle may include at least one processing device programmed to receive, from a camera, a plurality of images representative of an environment of the host vehicle; analyze the plurality of images to identify a first flow of traffic and a second flow of traffic; determine a presence of at least one navigational state characteristic indicative of an alternating merging of the first flow of traffic and the second flow of traffic into a merged lane; cause at least a first navigational change to allow one target vehicle from the first flow of traffic to proceed ahead of the host vehicle; and cause at least a second navigational change to cause the host vehicle to follow the target vehicle into the merged lane.
