Why should a driver use the acceleration lane to approach the speed of freeway traffic?
Blue car A is in a freeway acceleration lane below two eastbound through lanes. Silver B is ahead and silver C behind in the nearest through lane, with an illustrative space between them.
Correct answer: A smaller speed difference makes selecting and entering a safe gap easier.
Why
Use the ramp and acceleration lane to build appropriate speed, scan, signal, and enter an available gap smoothly.
