Your highway exit has a deceleration lane, and the traffic in your lane moves at 65 mph. Where should you slow down to the exit speed?
A travels ahead of B in the right highway lane beside a separate deceleration lane. The card states that traffic in A’s travel lane moves at 65 mph.
Correct answer: In the deceleration lane, after you signal and move out of the travel lane
Why
The deceleration lane lets you lose speed without slowing the traffic that you leave. Signal early, move over at highway speed, and then brake smoothly to the posted exit speed. Watch for a curve or a line of cars at the end of the ramp.
