Question 5709

To merge onto the freeway, may you drive over the hatched area?

  1. Yes, if I have already reached the appropriate speed to merge into traffic by that point.
  2. No, it is prohibited.
  3. Yes, in order to shorten the duration of the maneuver.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No, it is prohibited.

No vehicle may enter the hatched area except those required to use the shoulder. When merging onto the freeway, do not drive over it, even if you are already traveling at the appropriate speed; stay in your lane until the hatched area ends.
