You need to merge onto a limited-access highway from an entrance ramp. What is the correct technique?
- A.Stop at the end of the ramp and wait for a large gap
- B.Merge slowly at ramp speed and let highway traffic adjust
- C.Drive onto the shoulder if no gap appears at the last second
- D.Use the acceleration lane to reach the speed of highway traffic, signal, check blind spots, and merge into a gap without stopping
Correct answer
D. Use the acceleration lane to reach the speed of highway traffic, signal, check blind spots, and merge into a gap without stopping
Why
The acceleration lane exists so you can match traffic speed before merging. Highway traffic has the right-of-way, so adjust your speed to fit a gap rather than forcing drivers to brake.
