Question 2763

When merging onto a high-capacity divided highway (autovía) from an acceleration lane, I am required to...

  1. Always stop at the end of the lane to check that I can merge without endangering other road users traveling on the road.
  2. Only notify road users traveling on the road of my intention to merge, so they can help me merge by stopping if necessary.
  3. Adjust my vehicle's speed to that of traffic on the road I am merging onto.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Adjust my vehicle's speed to that of traffic on the road I am merging onto.

The acceleration lane allows you to reach a speed appropriate for traffic on the high-capacity divided highway before merging. The aim is not to enter at a fixed speed, but to adjust your speed to traffic.
