Entering and Leaving Expressways
Vehicles can enter and leave expressways only at certain points. Because expressway traffic is usually moving at or close to the maximum speed allowed, you need to know how to enter and exit safely.
All expressway entrances have three basic parts: an entrance ramp, an acceleration lane, and a merging area. Follow these guidelines to enter
an expressway safely:
- On the entrance ramp, begin checking for an opening in traffic. Signal for your turn.
- As the ramp straightens into the acceleration lane, speed up. Try to adjust your speed so that you can move into the traffic when you reach the end of the acceleration lane.
- Merge into traffic when you can do so safely. You must yield the right-of-way to traffic on the expressway. You cannot always count on other drivers moving over to give you room to enter, but do not stop on an acceleration lane unless traffic is too heavy and there is no space for you to enter safely.

When entering the interstate highway from the acceleration lane how fast should you go?
You should accelerate to the same speed as the traffic in the lane you are merging into. Then adjust as needed when you are safely in the travel lane. (Entering from the left may mean you are entering the fastest lane of travel, and you also may not have a clear view of traffic directly alongside you.)

In USA what is the law on merging traffic who has the right of way merging traffic or traffic flow?
In most instances a lane of travel will be marked as the lane that is merging with the other lane or lanes. If so, the lane that is NOT ending has the right of way. When entering a freeway or Interstate roadway, the traffic already on the main lanes of travel has the right of way and the entering traffic has the duty to "merge" safely with the traffic already flowing on the main lanes.

Why are there Stop Go lights on entrance ramps to highways around Milwaukee Wisconsin?
You see them in and around Denver, Phoenix, Los Angeles, and a lot of other major urban areas all over the US. The idea behind them is that by controlling the flow of traffic entering the Interstate during peak traffic hours, it will reduce traffic backups and facilitate easier merging onto the Interstate. How well it works, I really can't say, although it is easier coping with one or two vehicles entering the freeway at a time than it is a whole gaggle of traffic.
