    • D After slowing down in the travel lane

    On an interstate entrance ramp, when should you begin to merge into traffic?

    • A As soon as you reach the start of the ramp
    • B When the solid white line becomes a broken white line
    • C Only after stopping at the end of the ramp
    • D When a driver in the right lane waves you in
    Show answer

    B. When the solid white line becomes a broken white line

    On the ramp, a solid white line separates you from interstate traffic. When the broken white line begins, adjust your speed, signal and merge into a safe gap.
