Question 4412
When merging onto a freeway, may you drive over the hatched area?
- Yes, if you have already reached the appropriate speed at that point to merge into traffic.
- No, it is prohibited.
- Yes, to shorten the duration of the maneuver.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: No, it is prohibited.
The hatched area is surrounded by a solid line, and no vehicle may enter it except those required to use the shoulder. When merging, you must stay in your lane until the hatched area ends, even if you are already traveling at the right speed or want to shorten the maneuver.
