When leaving an interstate, where should you normally make the major reduction in speed?
A is in the right through lane before an exit lane opens and curves away. B is farther behind in the through lane.
Correct answer: After moving safely into the deceleration lane.
Why
Plan early, signal, enter the correct exit lane, and then slow to the posted ramp speed. A large speed reduction in the through lane can surprise traffic behind you. Use the separate lane for that slowing, and enter the ramp at a speed suitable for its curve and any posted advisory.
