Freeways & High-Speed RoadsStandalone practice
Your freeway exit is 1 mile ahead, and you are in the center lane at 65 mph. Where should you do most of your slowing for the exit?
A is in the middle lane of a three-lane freeway. A separate deceleration lane and curving exit ramp are visible ahead without a selected path.
Correct answer: In the deceleration lane, once you have moved into it
Why
Plan your exit before you start the trip, and watch for the signs that tell you about upcoming exits. Move to the right lane early, one lane at a time, and signal each time. The deceleration lane is the place to lose speed, so through traffic can keep moving.
