Freeway Driving

~

Mile for mile, freeways(also called thruways, parkways, expressways, turnpikes, or superhighways)are the safest of all roads. But they havetheir own special rules.

The most important advice on freeway driving is: Keepup with traffic and keep to theright. Driveat thesame speed most of the other drivers are driving. Too-fastor too-slow driving breaks smooth trafficflow. Treat the left lane on a freeway as a passing lane.

At the entrance there is usually a ramp that leads to thefreeway. If you have a clear view ofthe freeway as you &ive along the entrance ramp, you should begin to check traffic.Try to determine where you expect to blend with the

flow. Tryto merge into thegap at close to theprevailing speed. Switchon your turn signal, check yourmirrors and glance over yourshoulder as often as necessary. Tryto blend smoothlywith the traffic flow.

Once you are on the freeway, adjust your speedto theposted limit orto the prevailing rate if it’s slower. Stayin the right lane unless you want to pass.

Before changinglanes, check your mirrors. Then use your turn signal.

Just before you leavethe lane, glance quickly over yourshoulder to make sure there isn’t another vehicle in your “blind”spot.

Once youare moving on the freeway, make certain you allowa reasonable following distance. Expect to move slightly slowerat night.

When youwant to leave the freeway, move to theproper lane well in advance. If you miss your exitdo not, under any circumstances, stop and back up. Drive on to the next exit.

The exit ramp can be curved, sometimes quite sharply.

The exit speed is usuallyposted.
