Zorluk: OrtaLeaving the Motorway

Drivers must recognise distinct road features and execute correct procedures when preparing to leave a high-speed motorway. Match each motorway exit feature or sign with its correct operational rule or required driver action.

  • One-mile advance direction signPrompts early planning to move safely across into the left-hand lane well in advance
  • Deceleration lane (slip road)The dedicated area where vehicle speed should be reduced rather than braking on the main carriageway
  • Lane-drop exit sign with inclined arrowsIndicates that an existing running lane leaves the motorway directly without a separate diverging lane
  • Slip road approach to a terminal roundaboutDemands checking the speedometer to counteract velocitation before giving way or stopping

Cevap

One-mile advance direction sign matches prompts early planning to move safely across into the left-hand lane well in advance; Deceleration lane (slip road) matches the dedicated area where vehicle speed should be reduced rather than braking on the main carriageway; Lane-drop exit sign with inclined arrows matches indicates that an existing running lane leaves the motorway directly without a separate diverging lane; Slip road approach to a terminal roundabout matches demands checking the speedometer to counteract velocitation before giving way or stopping.
Each feature corresponds directly to core motorway exit procedures: the 1-mile sign provides the window for early lane changes to the left; the deceleration lane is the only place where braking should occur; the lane-drop sign indicates an entire lane exits the motorway; and the slip road approach requires active speedometer checks to counteract velocitation before joining a roundabout.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the purpose of advance warning signs when preparing to exit
The one-mile sign alerts drivers early so they can smoothly transition across lanes into the left-hand lane without late, erratic lane changes.
Safe motorway exiting requires early observation and positioning well before the junction markings appear.
2
Determine proper speed management on the motorway vs deceleration lane
Braking should be delayed until the vehicle is fully within the deceleration slip road.
Braking abruptly on the main carriageway creates a severe collision hazard for following high-speed vehicles.
3
Distinguish between standard diverging slip roads and lane-drop junctions
Lane-drop signs indicate that the left lane itself exits rather than splitting off as a newly added lane.
Drivers wishing to stay on the main carriageway must move right, while exiting drivers remain in the designated lane.
4
Assess hazards at the terminal end of an exit slip road
Drivers must check their speedometer when approaching the junction roundabout to overcome velocitation.
After high-speed cruising, lower speeds feel much slower than they actually are, risking overshooting the give-way line.
