Should the speed be increased to over 60 after entering the ramp?

Vehicles must accelerate to over 60 on the ramp, and then turn on the left turn signal to enter the traffic lane under the premise of ensuring safety; if there are vehicles closely following on the traffic lane, you cannot directly enter the traffic lane. Relevant introductions are as follows: Increase speed: On the ramp (when entering), quickly increase the vehicle speed, but do not exceed the speed limit indicated by the signs. On the ramp, overtaking, U-turns, parking, and reversing are not allowed. Choose the right moment: After driving the vehicle from the ramp into the highway acceleration lane, turn on the left turn signal, increase the speed to over 60 kilometers per hour as soon as possible, and carefully observe the traffic conditions on the lane to choose the right moment to enter the traffic lane.
When it comes to entering highway ramps, I believe accelerating to over 60 km/h is indeed a good practice, but it's not an absolute rule. Experience tells me the key is to match the speed of the main road for safety. For example, if traffic on the main road is fast with everyone driving at 80 km/h, entering the ramp too slowly could lead to rear-end collisions or difficulty merging. I've driven on many highways where ramp designs vary—some straight ones allow direct acceleration, while curved ones require careful speed control around 40 km/h. I always pay attention to following distance and traffic signals, especially during rain or at night when visibility is poor, making sure to check mirrors for approaching large vehicles before accelerating. In short: stay flexible, prioritize safety, and don't rigidly fixate on the 60 km/h benchmark.
When I was learning to drive, I also asked similar questions. The instructor taught me to first look for the ramp sign, accelerate to 60 or higher, but not to force it. Driving too slowly on curves is actually dangerous. If you don't accelerate enough, the cars on the main road will zoom past, making it hard to merge and you might even get blocked. I remember once I was too nervous and only dared to drive at 40, which almost got me stuck at the exit, with cars behind honking and catching up. Now I've developed the habit of adjusting the throttle while driving, and it feels much smoother when the power kicks in. Of course, as a beginner, practicing more to balance acceleration will make you more confident and safer on the road.
