Shoulders And MergingStandalone practice
What should a driver do in a freeway acceleration lane?
A travels in an acceleration lane beside B and C on the main highway. There is an illustrative opening between B and C.
Correct answer: Match traffic speed within the limit; merge into a safe gap
Why
Check traffic early, choose a gap and use the acceleration lane to match traffic speed within the speed limit. Signal and keep checking mirrors and the blind spot. Move over when safe and legal, after the solid white line ends. Both streams share responsibility for a safe merge.
