Freeways & High-Speed RoadsStandalone practice
After leaving the highway and entering an exit ramp, how should a driver choose speed?
Blue car A is in the exit lane as it becomes a curving ramp. Silver car B remains on the through roadway. Each badge is beside its vehicle.
Correct answer: Slow to the ramp’s posted speed, or lower for conditions
Why
An exit ramp may have tighter geometry than the highway, so the driver reduces speed after entering the ramp and follows its control.
