It is common courtesy to move over or match speed so they can merge more easily, but that's not the law.

Interestingly, I believe this manoeuvre (move over to make room for cars entering the highway) is banned in Germany, because it can cause accidents as the cars from the slower right lanes suddenly move to the left lanes.
