Expressway entrance ramps are designed to facilitate the smooth and safe merging of vehicles onto the expressway. They provide a dedicated space for drivers to accelerate to the appropriate speed before joining the flow of traffic, reducing the risk of accidents. These ramps often feature signage and lane markings to guide drivers and enhance overall traffic efficiency. Additionally, they help manage traffic volume by allowing vehicles to enter the expressway in a controlled manner.

What are the three areas that make up an expressway entrance lane?
An expressway entrance lane typically consists of three key areas: the deceleration lane, the merge lane, and the acceleration lane. The deceleration lane allows vehicles to safely reduce speed before entering the expressway. The merge lane facilitates the transition of vehicles from the entrance onto the expressway, while the acceleration lane provides space for vehicles to increase their speed to match the flow of traffic. These components work together to ensure a smooth and safe entry onto the expressway.

When merging onto the expressway should you stop on the entrance ramp?
No. Not unless there is a "Meter" with a traffic signal.* Stopping on the entrance ramp - unless traffic is so congested that forward movement is impossible - is dangerous. Instead, you should be using the entrance ramp to get up to the prevailing speed of the traffic and merge smoothly into the traffic. *There are a few places where traffic lights have been installed at the top of entrance ramps. In those cases you should obey the law and stop for red lights. But these kind of arrangements are not used in most states - only where the traffic is typically too heavy for the ordinary merging practice.
