HOW TO MERGE ONTO A HIGHWAY OR INTERSTATE (DRIVING TUTORIAL)
Today's video is about learning how to merge properly onto a highway, freeway or interstate. This maneuver can be tricky for new inexperience drivers. It requires a little bit of practice to master this technique.
Entering & Leaving Limited Access/Interstate Highways
All limited-access highway entrances have three basic parts: an entrance
ramp, an acceleration lane, and a merging area.
When entering an interstate highway:
1. On the entrance ramp, begin checking for an opening in traffic. Signal
your intent to merge onto the expressway.
2. Increase your speed as the ramp straightens into the acceleration lane.
Adjust your speed so that you can safely merge into the traffic when you
reach the end of the acceleration lane.
3. Merge into traffic when you can do so safely. You must yield the right of way to traffic on the highway. Do not stop in the acceleration lane
unless traffic is too heavy and there is no space for you to enter safely.

Stay in the right lane if you're a beginner, and don't be afraid of going slow as long as its the speed limit. Pick a gap between the car behind and in front, accelerate and adjust speed as needed. Simple

@azatakmyradov5358 2 жыл бұрын

@@jacobreyes6212 it depends on the situation. What I do is if I’m too close to the merging car I accelerate to get out of the way. If he’s in front of me i just adjust my speed to his so he has space to merge and it’s safe to the cars on my back.

The most important thing and most often not done is; You need to be going the same speed or a little faster than the traffic you are merging with. Why? because EVERY vehicle on the road can slow down at a faster rate than it can speed up. When you get to the merge point, if you can't slip right in, slow down enough to get in. ALWAYS, at the merge point, be going at least as fast as traffic you are merging with.

@x-man5056 2 жыл бұрын

@@songriver1232 It is actually easier. Most big rigs are topped out at 75 mph. Cars can frequently be going faster. So if you are merging onto a 65 mph limit freeway in light to moderate traffic you should be going 65-70 at the end of the on ramp. As you near the traffic lane you are merging with, you should be able to merge left in first lane next to you, or SLOW slightly to merge in. It makes it easy.

I absolutely hate when some old prick is on the merging ramp and THEY FUCKING COME TO A COMPLETE STOP WITH NO YIELD OR STOP SIGN. So many times I’ve seen major accidents happen because of this exact shit, how can you be so stupid as a human it’s unbelievable. When I get in that fucking ramp i floor it to at least 80 mph and then merge into flying traffic instantly with no issue because I’m flying faster then most of the people in the right lane on the highway already. It’s not rocket science it’s so easy

Great advice. Watch out for those tricky and potentially dangerous yield areas where there IS NO merge lane. Usually there’s a sign posted that will say NO MERGE AREA but not always. In that case it’s always necessary to stop the vehicle and treat the yield sign like a stop sign and then check and make sure the lane you are merging into is completely clear. Always be sure to look ahead and confirm whether or not there is a merge lane and proceed accordingly as mentioned..Happy motoring and Stay safe!

I was merging on the highway today (around 2 pm on a saturday) and I got into an accident and my drivers test is scheduled for a week from today. The other person did not speed up or slow down as i tried to merge and they were in my blind spot so i didn't see them. This video really helped me learn some more tips on how to better drive on the highway and get my license. I hope my test goes ok and that I can safely drive on the highway again soon.

In most states, it is the driver's job that is merging to adjust their speed to traffic already in the lanes. It is not the job of the existing traffic to move over or change speeds to let you in. Most expressway entrance ramps will have a yield sign. That yield is for the person entering, not the people already on the highway.

I've been driving on the highway for about 2 years now, and I don't know how, because merging is something that used to and still gives me major anxiety!

@ghostsoda7710 Жыл бұрын

I just don’t understand why the merge lane ends so quickly, especially if I have to accelerate fast to match traffic

If u can look farther up the highway while your on the ramp to judge how fast u should go before getting on the acceleration lane that would help but don’t start to speed up until the ramp starts to straighten out

I entered the freeway and I was getting ready to merge but a huge gas truck was in the lane to merge in and he was driving fast, and I guess he expected me to step on the gas full speed, but no instead I moved on over to the emergency parking lane and he honked at me

I feel like i just made myself think i knew what i was doing and that it's easy to do. Sure thing, i was calm and acted like i knew exactly what i was doing.. it went great.. One thing tho is i took the wrong exit

Yeah this isn’t possible where I live, people always don’t leave spaces for me and I always have to slow down or stop to wait for a gap to enter.

@MerlynAStern Жыл бұрын

Yes. An acceleration lane is for...wait for it...ACCELERATION. I've always wondered why people stop. Very strange.

This video is cute because there’s a lane that leads into the highway once you’re up there but a lot of times it’s a very short spot and some people believe you just have to fight to get in, but really there should be training to let cars zipper into the highway since slowing down or stopping will only prevent you more from merging

Oh yeah I have this crazy idea. You accelerate as hast and hard as you can.

Ironically, I havent driven on a highway since i got my license which was a few months ago. My main worry about entering a highway is the case of it being extremely busy, and every lane is a constant feed of cars that are already all as close as safely possible. I know this is pretty unlikely, but in a situation like this, would you have to slow down or even stop w/ your emergency lights on? Or do you always need to take the risk and hope your car will fit, since even if you do collide, the damage wont be as bad since keeping up the speed would make the other cars slower in relativity?

something pretty much exactly like that happened to me today not to exaggerate but i was merging onto the highway i’ve done it b4 so i wasn’t nervous until i see a constant feed of cars that wouldn’t slow down or merge into other lanes keep in my mind atp i’m going 65ish and they’re all 80+ mph during rush hour and i have cars behind me in the moment i panicked and slowed causing the car behind him to frustrate and take the gap i was gonna take so in the moment of me panicking i just got in the emergency lane which was worse cuz now i have to merge from a totally stopped car to 80 mph to keep up with traffic nevertheless i just wait till i saw a gap and took basically just don’t panic and drive at the speed limit on the ramp and very gradually increase your speed it takes time if worse comes to worse just get in the emergency lane that’s what it’s for

@muziworldwide Жыл бұрын

@@juanmazon4746same thing happened to me a few days ago. It’s a two lane highway super busy early morning & they just wouldn’t get over so I had to stop before getting on the highway. I had cars behind me but what could I do? There was no way I wouldn’t have gotten in an accident had I not stopped.
