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 of 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. If you have a clear view of the freeway as you

drive along the entrance ramp, you should begin to check

traffic. Try to 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 is slower.

Stay in 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 is not 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. If you miss your exit, do

not, under any circumstances, stop and back up. Drive

on to the next exit.

The exit ramp can be curved, sometimes quite sharply.

The exit speed is usually posted. 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.
