Deceleration lane.

Explanation
A limited-access highway entrance typically includes three main components:
1. Entrance ramp – A one-way road that leads onto the highway.
2. Acceleration lane – A lane that allows you to increase your speed to match the flow of traffic.
3. Merging area – The space where you actually merge into traffic on the highway.
These components work together to help drivers enter high-speed traffic safely and smoothly.
A deceleration lane, however, is not part of the entrance process - it's part of the exit process. It’s a lane that allows drivers leaving the highway to slow down after exiting, without disrupting the flow of traffic behind them.
