Question 3903
In an acceleration lane, where must you stop if you have to yield?
- At the beginning of the lane.
- It makes no difference; the only requirement is that you must not obstruct the progress of any road user.
- Just before entering the road.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: At the beginning of the lane.
If you cannot merge safely, stop at the beginning of the acceleration lane and wait for a gap. That leaves you the whole lane to accelerate and reach the end at a speed appropriate for the road. If you stopped at the end, you would have to merge into fast-moving traffic at almost no speed, so where you stop does matter.
