Freeways & High-Speed RoadsStandalone practice
You wait at a ramp meter on a freeway entrance ramp. You are first in line, and another car waits right behind you. The meter turns green. What is correct?
Blue A is first at a green ramp meter and silver B waits behind. Both remain before the stop line, with no selected departure sequence.
Correct answer: You go, and the car behind you waits for the next green light
Why
Ramp meters space out the cars so that they can merge smoothly and safely onto a busy freeway. They are usually on during peak travel hours in metro areas. After the meter, speed up in the acceleration lane and yield to freeway traffic.
