Interstate traffic slows to a crawl. The breakdown lane on the right is empty, and your exit is half a mile ahead. What should you do?
A follows B and C in the right freeway travel lane beside an empty breakdown lane beyond the solid white edge line. The card states that traffic crawls and A’s exit is half a mile ahead.
Correct answer: Stay in the travel lane, because the breakdown lane is only for emergency stops.
Why
Drivers with a breakdown, and the people who help them, stop in this lane because they expect no moving traffic there. The Rhode Island manual warns drivers who stop there to watch for vehicles that use the lane illegally. On a long trip, do not rest in the breakdown lane; use a rest area or another safe place off the road.
