Question 5709

- No, it is prohibited.
- 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.
