Which Turn Signal to Use When Exiting a Ramp?
2 Answers
When exiting a ramp, you should turn on the right turn signal. Below is an introduction about exiting a ramp: 1. Exiting a ramp: (1) When exiting a highway via a ramp, pay attention to the intersection warning signs, divert your vehicle from the main lane into the deceleration lane to slow down, and then enter the general road via the ramp. (2) When leaving the ramp, turn on the right turn signal. 2. Entering a ramp: (1) On the ramp, when entering the highway, you need to quickly increase your speed. However, do not exceed the speed limit indicated by the signs. Overtaking, making U-turns, stopping, and reversing are not allowed on the ramp. (2) After driving from the ramp into the highway acceleration lane, you may or may not turn on the left turn signal, quickly increase your speed to over 60 km/h, and carefully observe the traffic on the lane to choose the right moment to merge into the driving lane. Emergency braking or stopping in the acceleration lane is not allowed. When the driving lane is sparsely populated with vehicles, you can merge into the driving lane after normal driving; if vehicles on the highway are following closely, control your speed and merge into the driving lane only after all vehicles have passed.
I remember when I first drove on the highway as a beginner, I completely forgot to signal when exiting the ramp, and the car behind almost rear-ended me, which scared me to death. Later, my instructor emphasized that you must turn on the right turn signal when exiting a highway ramp because it's a right turn off the main road. Signaling alerts drivers behind you that you're slowing down and turning, preventing accidents. Now I'm in the habit of turning on the signal hundreds of meters in advance, especially at busy intersections or in rainy/foggy conditions where lights are even more crucial. Not signaling isn't just a bad habit—it can lead to fines in some places. Every time I think about this, I reflect on how such a small action can literally save lives. Don't skip it—make it a habit, especially at night when visibility changes.
