At which part of the acceleration lane must the driver verify if it is safe to merge into the main road?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is at the beginning of the acceleration lane. When merging, the driver must observe traffic on the main road (using mirrors or direct vision) as soon as they enter the lane. Why? Because if it becomes necessary to stop to Yield, it must be done at the beginning of the lane, not at the end. This ensures the driver retains the full length of the lane to accelerate and reach an appropriate speed before joining the traffic flow. Waiting until the end to check for safety is a dangerous error that could leave you stopped with no room to accelerate.
