- B. While still in your main travel lane, just before the exit.
- C. As soon as you see the first sign for your exit.
- D. Only after you have entered the sharpest part of the exit ramp curve.
Explanation: Rule 2: When exiting an expressway, you should move into the deceleration lane first and then slow down to the posted exit ramp speed. Slowing down in the main travel lanes is dangerous and disrupts the flow of traffic.
Question 2
You are on an entrance ramp preparing to merge onto a busy Georgia interstate. What is the primary purpose of the long acceleration lane?

- D. To serve as a waiting area for large trucks before they enter the flow of traffic.
Explanation: Rule 1: When entering an expressway, use the acceleration lane to increase your speed to match the flow of traffic before merging. This allows you to blend smoothly and safely with high-speed traffic.
Question 3

- C. Flash your brake lights to show you are aware of them.
