Freeways & High-Speed RoadsStandalone practice
You drive alone onto a freeway ramp. Its ramp meter is on, and the light for your lane is red. The ramp also has a lane marked with a diamond for carpools. What should you do?
A approaches a red ramp meter in the regular ramp lane, well before its stop line. The adjacent bypass lane has a white diamond for carpools.
Correct answer: Stop at the stop line and wait for your green light.
Why
Ramp meters space out entering cars, so that each one can merge into freeway traffic more smoothly. The light changes faster than a light at an intersection, so stay alert. When a ramp has two metered lanes, obey the light for your own lane.
