Difficulty: MediumFreeway, Highway, and Expressway Driving Rules

When two vehicles simultaneously use a shared expressway weave lane, the driver merging onto the expressway has the right-of-way over the driver attempting to exit.

Answer: Answer

Answer

The statement is false. On a shared expressway weave lane, vehicles exiting the highway have the right-of-way over vehicles merging onto the highway.
The statement is false because traffic exiting an expressway has right-of-way priority over entering traffic in a shared weave lane. The merging driver is expected to adjust speed, yield, or select a gap behind the exiting vehicle to allow a safe transition.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the conflict point in a shared weave lane.
A weave lane acts as both an acceleration lane for entering traffic and a deceleration lane for exiting traffic.
Vehicles are crossing paths at highway speeds within the same auxiliary lane.
2
Apply the standard traffic safety rule for expressway weave lanes.
The exiting vehicle takes priority over the entering vehicle.
Exiting drivers need to clear high-speed travel lanes safely without sudden braking, so entering drivers must yield and adjust their speed accordingly.
