Under what circumstances can you stop in the acceleration lane on an expressway?

  1. You may stop if you are tired.

  2. You may stop to pick up a passenger.

  3. You may stop unless traffic is too heavy and there is no space for you to enter safely.

  4. Do not stop in the acceleration lane unless traffic is too heavy and there is no space for you to enter safely.

The correct answer is: Do not stop in the acceleration lane unless traffic is too heavy and there is no space for you to enter safely.

The acceleration lane on an expressway is designed for drivers to accelerate to match the highway's speed and merge with traffic. Generally, you should not stop in an acceleration lane unless absolutely necessary. Option A is incorrect because stopping in the acceleration lane due to fatigue can be dangerous and disrupt the flow of traffic. Option B is also incorrect because picking up a passenger in the acceleration lane could cause a collision or delay other drivers trying to merge onto the expressway. Option C is a bit tricky but also incorrect because although it mentions heavy traffic, drivers should still try to find an opening to safely merge with traffic instead of stopping in the acceleration lane. Overall, stopping in the acceleration lane is not safe and should only be done in extreme situations.
