[. . . ] Pull to the right (with care) and stop clear of intersections when you see or hear emergency vehicles. 9 160 Freeway Driving Mile for mile. freeways (also called thruways, parkways, expressways, turnpikes, or superhighways) are the safest of all roads. The most important advice on freeway driving is: Keep up with traffic and keep to the right. Treat the left lane on a freeway as a passing lane. Entering the Freeway At the entrance there is usually a ramp that leads to the freeway. If you have a clear view of the freeway as you drive along the entrance ramp, you should begin to check traffic. find a gap as you move along the entering lane and time your approach. Switch on your turn signal, check your rearview mirrors as you move along, and glance over your shoulder as often as necessary. Try to blend smoothly with the traffic flow. Driving on the Freeway Once you are on the freeway, adjust your speed to the posted limit or to the prevailing rate if it's slower. If you are on a two-lane freeway, treat the right lane as the slow lane and the left lane as the passing lane. If you are on a three-lane freeway, treat the right lane as the slower-speed through lane, the middle lane as the higher-speed through lane, and the left lane as the passing lane. Then use your turn signal. I Your Driving and the Road Just before you leave the lane, 'glance quickly over your shoulder to make sure there isn't another vehicle in your "blind" spot. If you are moving from anoutside to a center lane on a freeway having more than two lanes, make sure another vehicle isn't about to move into the same spot. Look at the vehicles two lanes over and watch for telltale signs: turn signals flashing, an increase in speed, or moving toward the edge of the lane. Once you are moving on the freeway, make certain you allow a reasonable following distance. 162 Leaving the Freeway When you want to leave the freeway, move to the proper lane well in advance. If you miss your exit do not, under any circumstances, stop and back up. Ideally it should be long enough for you to enter it at freeway speed (after signaling, of course) and then do your braking before moving onto the exit ramp. Unfortunately, not all deceleration lanes are long enough - some are too short for all the braking. If you must brake on the through lane, and if there is traffic close behind you, you can allow a little extra time and flash your brake lights (in addition to your turn signal) as extra warning that you are about to slow down and exit. Reduce your speed according to your speedometer, not to your sense of motion. After driving for any distance at higher speeds, you may tend to think you are going slower than you actually are. Obviously, this could lead to serious trouble on a ramp designed for 20 mph (30 km/h)! Driving a Long Distance Although most long trips today are made on freeways, there are still many made on regular highways.
