Question: When entering a freeway from an on-ramp you should:
Answer options:
- Stop at the end of the ramp ✅ Match the speed of traffic and merge using the acceleration lane
- Slow down so traffic can pass
- Force your way in
Correct answer: Match the speed of traffic and merge using the acceleration lane
Explanation: According to the Official MTO Driver's Handbook, drivers entering a highway must use the acceleration lane to match the speed of freeway traffic and merge smoothly when a safe gap appears. Stopping at the end of the ramp or slowing down is highly dangerous because it disrupts the flow of traffic, increases the risk of rear-end collisions, and makes merging much more difficult. Forcing your way in is also unsafe and violates right-of-way rules. Officially, the entrance ramp is designed to build speed to blend seamlessly with existing traffic. Understanding correct freeway merging procedure is a frequent topic on the G1 knowledge test to ensure safe highway driving habits.
