Difficulty: EasyFreeway, Highway, and Expressway Driving Rules

When two vehicles use a shared weaving lane on an expressway—where one vehicle is entering from an on-ramp and another is exiting onto an off-ramp—which vehicle must yield the right-of-way?

  1. The vehicle entering the expressway must yield right-of-way to the vehicle exiting the expressway.Answer
  2. B
    The vehicle exiting the expressway must yield right-of-way to the vehicle entering from the ramp.
  3. C
    The vehicle moving at the higher speed automatically receives right-of-way over the slower vehicle.
  4. D
    Both vehicles must come to a complete stop before crossing paths in the weaving lane.

Answer

The vehicle entering the expressway must yield right-of-way to the vehicle exiting the expressway.
In a shared weaving lane, the vehicle exiting the expressway has the right-of-way over the vehicle entering the expressway. This allows exiting vehicles to clear high-speed travel lanes smoothly without causing traffic backups behind them.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the traffic scenario
Two vehicles are simultaneously sharing a weaving lane (combined entrance and exit section).
Weaving lanes require coordinated merging between entering and exiting traffic.
2
Apply standard expressway weaving lane right-of-way rules
The driver entering the expressway must yield right-of-way to the driver exiting.
Exiting traffic is transitioning off high-speed travel lanes, and forcing them to yield would create a hazardous backlog on the main freeway.
