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.

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. Try to determine

where you expect to blend with

the

flow. If traffic is light, you may have no

problem. But if

it

is heavy, find a gap as

you move along the entering lane and

time your approach. Try to merge into

the

gap at close to the prevailing speed.

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. Stay

in

the

right lane unless you want to pass. 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.

Before changing lanes, check your

rearview mirrors. Then use your

turn

signal. Just before you leave the lane,

glance quickly over your shoulder to
