What is the purpose of the acceleration lane at the end of an Interstate entrance ramp?
- A To let you stop and wait for a large gap
- B To give slow vehicles a place to drive
- C To let you pass slower vehicles that are still on the ramp
- D To let you match your speed to Interstate traffic
Show answer
D. To let you match your speed to Interstate traffic
The acceleration lane lets you build up to the speed of Interstate traffic before you merge. Check over your shoulder for a gap, signal, adjust your speed and merge, remembering that Interstate traffic has the right of way.

- D Turn on your flashers and keep driving

- B Cross the median and turn around
- C Stop in the lane and wait for a gap

You are getting off the Interstate. When should you signal and move into the proper lane?
- A A mile or more before the exit
- B Right at the exit sign
- C About 100 feet before the exit
- D After you have slowed down on the Interstate
Show answer
A. A mile or more before the exit
Plan ahead: watch for exit signs, then signal and move into the proper lane a mile or more before the exit. Do not slow on the Interstate itself; slow after you turn into the deceleration lane.
