Lane Change Awareness

Entering and Exiting

Good judgment and timing are required to merge smoothly into traffic when you are entering an interstate/freeway. Generally, you will enter from a ramp which leads into an acceleration lane which blends into the flow of traffic on the highway.

Size up the traffic on the highway you are entering.
Allow space between your vehicle and others on the ramp.
Adjust your speed to fit with the flow of traffic.
Watch for entering opportunities or difficulties that will affect merging.
