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.

When perpaing to enter an expressway how can you distinguish between an entrance ramp and an exit ramp?
An entrance ramp allows vehicles to join the expressway from a local road, while an exit ramp leads vehicles off the expressway onto a local road. Entrance ramps typically have yield or merge signs, while exit ramps have signs indicating the upcoming exit number or destination.
When you are merging onto the freeway how fast should you be driving?
At or near the same speed as the traffic on the freeway.
Who is at fault when merging onto a freeway?
When merging onto a freeway, the driver entering the freeway is typically responsible for safely merging into traffic. It is their responsibility to yield to vehicles already on the freeway and adjust their speed to merge smoothly.
When merging onto the interstate highways you should?
When merging onto interstate highways, you should accelerate to match the speed of the traffic already on the highway. Use the acceleration lane to gauge the speed of vehicles, and look for a gap in traffic to merge safely. Always signal your intentions clearly and check your mirrors and blind spots before merging. Remember to yield to vehicles already on the interstate.
What is the on ramp speed limit for vehicles merging onto the highway?
The speed limit for vehicles merging onto the highway from an on ramp is typically the same as the posted speed limit for that section of the highway.
Do on ramps have speed limits?
Yes, on ramps typically have posted speed limits that drivers should follow when merging onto a highway or freeway.
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.
What are three parts to a freeway entrance?
The three parts to a freeway entrance typically include the on-ramp, merge area, and acceleration lane. The on-ramp is where vehicles enter the freeway, the merge area allows vehicles to smoothly blend into the flow of traffic, and the acceleration lane provides space for vehicles to increase their speed before merging onto the freeway.
When you are merging onto a freeway you should?
When merging onto a freeway, you should accelerate to match the speed of the traffic in the right lane. Use your turn signal to indicate your intention to merge, and check your mirrors and blind spots for any vehicles. Enter the freeway when there is a safe gap in traffic, ensuring you do so smoothly and without sudden changes in speed. Always be aware of your surroundings and adjust your speed as needed to merge safely.
