When using an acceleration lane to enter a road, what is the correct behavior a driver must follow?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is based on safety and traffic flow principles. The acceleration lane serves a dual purpose: observing traffic and matching speed. As a driver, you must verify from the beginning of the lane (using your mirrors) if merging is possible. If traffic is heavy and creates a dangerous situation, you must stop at the start of the lane, never at the end. This is crucial because stopping at the start leaves you the full length of the lane to accelerate once a gap appears. Honking is not required here, and accelerating without observing violates right-of-way rules.
