When leaving an interstate highway, you must:
|
Slow down as soon as you have moved into the deceleration lane.
|
|
|
Increase your speed after turning into the deceleration lane.
|
|
|
Make a last-minute turn if possible.
|
|
|
Slow down before turning into the deceleration lane, and check the posted safe speed for the ramp.
|
Explanation
Once you have entered the deceleration lane or exit ramp on a highway, you should begin to reduce your speed. This allows for a smooth and safe transition from high-speed traffic to the slower speeds required on the ramp. Avoid slowing down too early, especially if there is traffic behind you. Reduce your speed gradually, and use your turn signal to indicate your intentions. Always watch for posted speed limit signs to help guide your speed while exiting.
