Turns, Lanes, Passing & MergingStandalone practice
What should a driver do while entering a controlled-access highway?
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: Build speed, find a safe gap, and yield to highway traffic
Why
Entering traffic uses the acceleration lane to approach traffic speed but must not force vehicles already on the highway to yield.
