<upd_detl>Comments at xref.  Lots of ngrams, perfectly common even if it feels a little simplistic/redundant. Not in eijiro.

First google hit was actually a honda website with a picture of a merge/junction at a highway onramp, with pic:

本線の一番左の走行車線を走っていて、合流地点が近づいたら、合流してくるクルマの動きに注意しましょう。

Image search suggests this might have a particular affinity with vehicle traffic for whatever reason.

Another vehicle pic, again, merging area from JAF (Japanese Automobile Federation)

本線を走行中に合流地点に近づき、加速車線を使って合流してくるクルマが見えたら....

Very similar verbiage between JAF and Honda.  I don't get the same sorts of results for 合流点, it is possible that " merging area (e.g. on a highway onramp)" should *not* be harmonized with the xref...</upd_detl>
<upd_refs>合流点	85039	65.2%
合流地点	45474	34.8%

川の合流点	7221	62.2%
川の合流地点	4386	37.8%

Mostly "confluence".  Also "meeting point", "rendezvous point", "junction"....

<upd_detl>I think that 4th gloss was redundant. 合流点 could be aligned.</upd_detl>
<upd_refs>GG5: 合流(地)点 the point where two 《rivers, roads, civilizations》 meet; the meeting point 「of [between] two 《civilizations》; 《at》 the confluence of two 《rivers》.</upd_refs>
