What is the difference between an acceleration lane and a ramp?

[OAlejandro]

Acceleration lanes and ramps differ in definition, driving sequence, and speed requirements. Different definitions: A ramp, also known as an approach, refers to the connecting road between an access road and the main highway, called a ramp. An acceleration lane is a lane designed for vehicles to accelerate before merging into the high-speed traffic flow. Different driving sequences: To enter a highway, vehicles must first pass through the ramp to the acceleration lane, and then from the acceleration lane to the main traffic lane. The ramp comes before the acceleration lane. The minimum speed required on an acceleration lane is 60 km/h, and all vehicles must accelerate to at least 60 km/h before entering the main highway lane. Different speed requirements: The speed on a ramp is generally required to be below 40 km/h. In an acceleration lane, vehicles should quickly accelerate to over 60 km/h. Points to note when driving in an acceleration lane: When entering the acceleration lane, increase speed as quickly as possible to meet the requirement, signal in advance by turning on the left turn indicator to alert vehicles behind, ensure there is sufficient distance from vehicles behind and that merging does not affect their driving, avoid steering too sharply during the merge, and promptly turn off the left turn indicator after entering the main traffic lane while appropriately increasing speed.
