Passing target: 80% (24/30)
Freeway traffic moves at about 20 mph. You want to take the next exit on the right, and a transit bus is driving on the right shoulder behind you. Which statement is correct?
A travels west toward an open exit ramp on the right. Bus B follows on the upper right shoulder. The caption gives freeway traffic speed as 20 mph. No yielding order or selected exit route is shown.
Correct answer: The bus may use the shoulder now, but it must yield to traffic that exits across it
Why
A bus on the shoulder may go no more than 15 mph faster than main-line traffic and never faster than 35 mph. Here, with traffic at 20 mph, the bus may go up to 35 mph. Even though the bus must yield, use your mirror and look over your shoulder before you cross the shoulder to exit. Cars may not use the shoulder as a travel lane.
