How should you enter a freeway?

Entering a freeway requires you to match the speed of the existing traffic as closely as possible. This practice enhances safety by minimizing the risk of collisions, as vehicles merging onto the freeway can easily adjust to the speed and flow of traffic.

If drivers enter at a significantly slower speed, it can create dangerous situations for both the merging vehicle and those already on the freeway, as it disrupts the established pace of traffic and can lead to abrupt stops or quick maneuvers from other drivers.

Stopping at the entrance ramp is unsafe as well, since it may lead to confusion and accidents, and entering only when there is a large gap might not always be practical or safe, depending on the traffic conditions. Therefore, the best approach is to accelerate to a speed that’s in line with the vehicles already on the freeway.
