Merging into highway with yield sign on cloverleaf ramp?!

If you are watching, you look at the traffic flow, you will see a spot open for you that’s the people in the right of way preparing for you to merge. Get up to speed and it that spot. If you stop, you are SOL.

“But Six, what about the yield sign?”

If you are trying to match speed to hit an open spot, you are yielding. Next time, watch the dummies that run down the on-ramp nose to tail. They’re planning to force their way on. They’re in for a rude awakening. It’s quite easy to spot someone yielding.

In an effort to help the dummies survive, they meter traffic on the on-ramp to create the spaces they should have if they were yielding.

 

Close your eyes and hope for the best. Tossing out a empty beer can into the lane to claim it is also acceptable and gives you the right away.

 

Well, if there is a yield sign... then it isn't a merge.

 

The traffic exiting the freeway onto the ramp has the right-of-way over the traffic coming onto the ramp to enter the freeway. That is why there is a yield. I go through one of these almost every day and most of the idiots entering the freeway get it wrong.

As you are coming down the ramp you should be looking ahead on the ramp to see traffic flow and make sure no one is stopped, looking back up the freeway to see what traffic is coming and where there is a gap for you so you can easily slide into traffic, looking to see if anyone is exiting the freeway because you'll have to yield and looking down the freeway in the direction of travel to see how traffic is flowing so you don't have to jam on the brakes as you're just getting up to speed.

Oh, and don't forget the bicycle lane and crosswalk just about where the ramp meets the freeway.

Don't laugh, some have them.

 

Is this you????

 

Roll through the yield with your left turn signal on and your right foot on the floor. Move left.

Simple. Works every time.

 

Stop at the stop sign. Left turn signal, then start rolling. Everyone rolling through the construction zone while ignoring the 45mph speed limit will have to sit up and take notice.

 

Were you driving that red Columbia I put into the barrels? Poor guy was having a bad day, and it only got worse.

Stop means stop. Especially when you’re coming into a single lane Texas construction zone with a speed limit of 60 or more.

 

its all in adjusting your speed to the speed of the traffic, as well as anticipating if they are going to slow down and if any of them are trying to make lane changes

You are to sop, or reduce speed ,if you can't merge in. Yield means just that . Some areas in the country have yield signs instead of stop signs. Usually in rural areas , same thing. Don't actually have to stop..unless someone is there and they have right of way. All kinds merging on main highways. You have cautious carl and kate, they stop, then try to merge at 20 mph. Then there is bulldog bill, he thinks everyone should trade paint to let him onto the interstate. I personally love drive beside me martha, she comes down ramp, and matches her speed perfectly with mine, then does her best trying to shove me over, when i don't move over she is so dumbfounded . Oh well all kinds.
