You are on an on-ramp, and the interstate's right lane is packed with traffic with no gap near you. What should you do?
A is early on an entrance ramp. Closely spaced vehicles occupy the interstate’s right lane beside and ahead of the merging area.
Correct answer: Slow down early on the ramp so you have room to build speed before merging
Why
Heavy traffic can leave no space when you reach the end of a ramp. The answer is to adjust early: ease off while there is still ramp ahead, so you can accelerate into a gap when one opens. Stopping at the end of the ramp is dangerous, because you cannot get up to speed from a stop and the drivers behind you do not expect it.
