Explanation
When you encounter vehicles merging onto the interstate from a right-side entrance ramp, you should signal and move to the left lane, if safe to do so. This allows merging vehicles a clear path to enter the flow of traffic smoothly and safely. By preemptively creating space in the right lane, you help reduce congestion and the risk of accidents caused by merging conflicts.
