Increase speed to merge with the flow of traffic.

Whatever the flow of traffic is. It should be about 55mph, but not if there is a traffic jam, then it might only be 20mph or less.

If it isn't, I can't think of another word of what to do when you enter the freeway.
How do you exit if you are driving in lane 1 of a 4 lane freeway?
SAFELY merge into and through the slower lanes of traffic. If you cannot do so before your exit is reached, continue on the next exit by driving in Lane 4 - exit there and then return one exit to your original destination.
When driving on a 3 way lane freeway you should know that?
If there are 3 lanes on your side of the freeway, the right-hand lane is there for vehicles to merge onto the freeway and it is the place for slower moving vehicles to drive; such as big rigs or cars towing anything. The lane in the middle is the passing lane for slow moving traffic, and it is the lane for primary travel of other than slow moving vehicles. The lane to the far left is for passing only, except when designated for specific use, like a carpool lane.
What does mearge mean?
There is no meaning for the word mearge. The word, merge, means to come together in a common area. Companies that merge group together assets. Cars merge onto a freeway to join traffic traveling in the same direction.
What should drivers do to enter a freeway safely?
Get your vehicle up to traffic speed, before attempting to merge. Look over your shoulder and in your mirrors, to make sure that you aren't going to hit anyone. Merging is much easier when you are going the same speed as the traffic that you are trying to merge into.
A truck hit you while merging into your lane?
If you are in a lane, you own it. You are not required by law to accept anybody into your lane, no matter what. It is their job to find an opening, and merge safely. That's what's tough about getting on the freeway, or merging when a lane ends. You need to wait until somebody lets you in. If they honk at you because they thought you should have let them in, they should learn how to merge. It is a kind gesture if you slow and let them in, but you do not have to! So, you are in the right. They should yield the right of way to you.
Is the extra space in front of a large truck needed for other drivers when merging onto a freeway?
You should never merge into the area that makes up a vehicle's safe stopping distance. Trucks need a larger distance than a car to stop, so a larger distance should be left in front of them when merging.
When traveling at a safe speed on a freeway which lane can be selected to allow others to switch lanes?
Drivers intending to stay on the highway/freeway should stay in the right lane or the lane designated as a through-lane. The only times you should move left is to allow vehicles to merge from a right side on ramp (and move back to the right lane as soon as you can), or to pass slower traffic already in the right lane (then move back to the right lane when it is safe to do so). If a freeway provides a "slower" lane and you drive slower than the maximum speed allowed, you should use the slower lane. But never hog the passing lane just to keep driving in it; move over and let faster traffic pass you.
