This is your first time in a diverging diamond interchange. At the first crossover, the road takes you to the left side, with oncoming traffic on your right. What should you do?
Within a diverging diamond interchange, blue A is on the left side of the roadway after the first crossover, while opposing traffic runs on the right. The freeway ramp branches away; no answer route is marked.
Correct answer: Follow the signals, signs, and lane markings through the crossover
Why
A diverging diamond interchange moves traffic to the other side of the road so that drivers can turn left onto and off freeway ramps without crossing oncoming traffic. This design has fewer points where vehicles cross paths, which lowers the risk of a crash. After the overpass or underpass, the markings lead you back to the right side.
