Merging Onto a 400 Series Highway
In Toronto
Part One - Off Peak Hours
Modern cars can accelerate to highway speeds in a short distance.
You must match your speed to the vehicles you are merging with.
It is called ..
The Acceleration Lane
Use this lane to accelerate from 60 to 100 kilometers per hour.
Adjust your speed before moving into the opening you have been watching since entering the on ramp.
Provided you have enough space to move into that spot!
Does the obvious really need to be stated here?
This simple procedure maintains the flow of traffic!
Don't Wait ... Accelerate!
Practice this technique and drivers in Toronto will
Thank You
