When a motorcycle rider wishes to enter a highway, s/he must
- take a special route for motorcycles.
- enter into the access path and then the merging area. ✓
- enter with the lowest possible speed.
- merge into the traffic directly.
Answer: B. enter into the access path and then the merging area.
A motorcycle rider entering a highway should use the access path and then the merging area.
Why this is the answer
The freeway section describes approaching an entrance ramp where other vehicles are merging and adjusting speed so the merge can happen safely. That matches entering by the ramp or access path first, then joining traffic in the merging area. The handbook does not describe a separate motorcycle route or entering at the lowest possible speed; it treats freeway traffic as fast-moving and says you should manage the merge deliberately.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. take a special route for motorcycles. — The passages do not describe a special route reserved for motorcycles when entering a highway; freeway entry is discussed through entrance ramps and merging.
- C. enter with the lowest possible speed. — The handbook talks about adjusting speed for a safe merge, not deliberately entering with the lowest possible speed.
- D. merge into the traffic directly. — The freeway passage describes using the entrance ramp and merging area with care, not joining traffic directly without that approach.
Remember it
Ramp first, merge second: use the entrance path to set up, then join where the lanes meet.
