Freeway

Driving

Mile for mile, freeways

(also

called thruways, parkways,

expressways, turnpikes, or superhighways) are the safest

of all roads. But they have their own special rules.

The most important advice on freeway driving

is:

Keep

up with traffic and keep to the right. Drive at the same

speed most

the other drivers are driving. Too-fast or

too-slow driving breaks a smooth traffic flow. Treat the

left lane on a freeway as a passing lane.

At the entrance there is usually a ramp that leads to the

freeway.

you have a clear view of the freeway as you

drive along the entrance ramp, you should begin to

check traffic. Trpi,determine where you expect to

blend with the flow.

Try

to merge into the gap at close to

the prevailing speed. Switch on your

turn

signal, check

your mirrors and glance over your shoulder as often as

necessary.

Try

to blend smoothly with the traffic flow.

Once you are on the freeway, adjust your speed to the

posted limit or to the prevailing rate if it’s slower. Stay

the right lane unless you want to pass.

Before changing lanes, check your mirrors. Then use

your

turn

signal.

Just before you leave the

lane,

glance quickly over your

shoulder to make sure there isn’t another vehicle in your

“blind” spot.

Once you are moving on the freeway, make certain

you

allow a reasonable following distance. Expect to move

slightly slower at night.

When

you

want to leave the freeway, move to the proper

lane well in advance.

you miss your exit do not, under

any circumstances, stop and ba&up. Drive

to the

next exit.

The exit ramp can be curved, sometimes quite sharply.
