1. What is the correct way to enter a freeway from an on-ramp?

   • Use the acceleration ramp to match freeway speed, signal, look for an opening, and merge when safe, yielding to freeway traffic — Correct answer
   • Stop at the end of the ramp and wait for a large gap
   • Enter at low speed — freeway traffic must slow down to let you in
   • Merge immediately without signaling so you do not lose momentum

   Explanation: Use the acceleration ramp to increase your speed to match freeway traffic, signal, look for an opening, and merge when safe — you must yield the right-of-way to freeway traffic.
