Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: B. Use the acceleration lane to match the speed of freeway traffic before merging
The acceleration lane exists so you can reach freeway speed before merging. Entering below traffic speed is dangerous — cars behind must swerve or brake hard. Signal, match speed, merge into a gap.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A.Enter at current speed and then brake if neededEntering too slow forces cars behind to brake; braking after entry is worse because you now sit in the lane at low speed.
- C.Stop at the end of the ramp and wait for a gapStopping on an acceleration ramp is dangerous; other drivers expect you to merge smoothly, not stop.
- D.Drive slowly so you can check trafficDriving slowly on the ramp defeats its purpose — you cannot safely merge below freeway speed.
