How must a driver proceed to merge into traffic from an acceleration lane?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

To merge correctly from an acceleration lane, the driver must observe the traffic on the main road (using mirrors and direct vision) and adapt their speed to enter the traffic flow without hindering others. It is essential to remember that: You do not have priority: Vehicles already traveling on the main road have the right of way. You must not force them to brake or change their path abruptly. Stopping point: If it is necessary to stop to yield, you must do so at the beginning of the acceleration lane, never at the end. This allows sufficient distance to accelerate afterwards before merging. Signaling: The maneuver must be signaled with the left turn indicator.
