When exiting a freeway, when should you reduce your speed?
Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: B. Signal and move into the deceleration lane, then reduce speed gradually
Signal first, move into the deceleration lane, then slow down gradually. Slowing on the main freeway lane backs up traffic. Hard braking in the ramp is unnecessary if you use the deceleration lane properly.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A.Start slowing down on the main freeway laneSlowing on the main freeway backs up traffic and creates collision risk.
- C.Brake hard as you reach the rampHard braking on the ramp surprises following drivers; gradual deceleration is safer.
- D.Slow down before signalling to exitSignal first so others know your intent, then move; slowing before signalling causes confusion.
