Question 5561

To enter a freeway (autopista), at what speed must you drive?

  1. At the maximum permitted speed on the freeway (autopista).
  2. Always very slowly in order to enter safely.
  3. At an appropriate speed that allows you to merge safely.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: At an appropriate speed that allows you to merge safely.

When entering the freeway, use the acceleration lane to reach a speed appropriate for the road and its traffic that allows you to merge safely. It does not have to be the maximum permitted speed. Entering very slowly is also dangerous for you and those already on the road.
