What should you do when merging onto an interstate highway?
Before you get to the highway, while driving on the access road with a merge sign, put on your turn signal. Check the oncoming traffic behind you in both your rear-view mirror and door mirror. If there is no traffic in the right lane, you should increase your speed to above 40mph (IF safe to do so) as you prepare to merge--but do not cross edge of the road lines; continue on the access road until the road marking shows you can merge. Do not try to edge out someone in front of you, even if they are slow to merge--the person who is first in line has complete right of way. Merge safely, and bring your speed up to driving speed as you turn off your turn signal (it will not automatically turn itself off).If you are on the access road and see traffic in the right lane of the highway, SLOW down instead of speed up. Constantly check your mirrors, with your turn signal on. IF there is enough SAFE distance between two vehicles, AND you can safely get your speed up, you can merge. Then, bring your speed up to driving speed for highway driving and turn off your turn signal.If you are on the access road and see constant oncoming traffic in the right lane of the highway, SLOW down instead of speed up. Keep your turn signal on. IF it is unsafe to merge, DO NOT try. You should brake and wait until it is safe to merge. Do not enter the roadway, even a little. If you have cars behind you, they are supposed to wait behind you (they should never jump the line to get ahead of you). As soon as you see safe distance between 2 vehicles, merge. Watch for drivers in the right lane who try to slow to give you a chance to merge--take the courtesy if offered to you and quickly get your speed up and turn off your turn signal.Merging is probably the most stressful part of driving because you have to watch out for yourself and other drivers. But you'll get the hang of it.NOTE: If you are a driver on a highway moving in the right lane, you should try to safely move over to the left lane to allow merging traffic to merge. Once you pass the on ramp, you can merge back into the right lane traffic again.
