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.
