I think that 4th gloss was redundant. 合流点 could be aligned.

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...
