Lesson 3 of 4
Plan Highway Entries and Exits
Prepare early for merging, lane positioning and a safe transition off the highway.
Prepare with Your Instructor
Choose a suitable entry and traffic conditions for your experience and licence. Review the layout while parked before practising. Do not treat a suggested practice session as permission to drive somewhere your licence does not allow.
Try This
Discuss the entry, available visibility and a safe response if traffic does not develop as expected.
Observe and Choose a Gap
Use the approach to assess traffic and an appropriate gap. Follow your instructor’s guidance on speed and observation for the actual ramp. Keep checking rather than focusing on a single vehicle.
Try This
Review whether your observation began early enough to give you options.
Set Up the Exit Early
Read signs, plan your lane position and follow posted instructions. If you miss the exit, continue to a legal alternative. Reassess speed and road conditions after leaving the highway.
Try This
Practise an entry and exit with your instructor, then describe what changed between highway and local-road driving.
Check Your Understanding
- I practise only within my licence conditions.
- I plan lane positioning early.
- I can safely continue if I miss an exit.
