On a freeway entrance ramp, a painted area between two solid white lines separates your ramp lane from the freeway lane. You see a gap in freeway traffic beside you. What should you do?
A approaches in an entrance ramp lane below a hatched painted area bounded by two solid white lines. B is farther ahead on the freeway.
Correct answer: Stay in the ramp lane until the solid lines end, then merge into a gap
Why
A gore area is the area between two solid white lines that separates a through lane from a lane used to enter or leave it; it also appears where two highways merge or split. Drivers who cut across it surprise other drivers and can hit barriers. When you merge, yield to vehicles in the continuing lane that are close enough to be a danger.
