Generally, the right lane of a freeway is for entering and exiting the traffic flow. It is a staging lane, for use at the beginning and end of your freeway run. The middle lanes are for through traffic, and the left lane is for passing. If you are not passing someone, you should not be driving in the left lane.

Interchanges are places where drivers can cross over or under as well as enter or leave the expressway.

To exit an interstate highway, turn your right turn signal on before reaching the exit ramp. Merge into the exit lane and begin to slow your vehicle as you travel down the exit ramp before coming to a complete stop at the end. Most interstate highways have both a maximum and a minimum speed limit.

Here are some highway driving tips that new drivers should consider before driving on the highway for the first time.

1. Pick the right time to start driving on the highway.
2. Start off driving in the right lane.
3. Leave enough space to change lanes.
4. Use turn signals when merging and changing lanes.
5. Keep a wide viewpoint.

Freeway driving can be challenging for most new drivers, especially going through the freeway ramp. Merging into fast-moving traffic, driving at 65 mph, or having to deal with fast-moving, large semi-trailer trucks can be scary and challenging.

The increased speed and traffic of a major highway can be a whole new challenge altogether. That being said, a highway is often the easiest and most efficient route to get from one point to the next. With the right knowhow, and some consistent practice, it can be safe and fun to drive on an expressway.

Yes it does get easy once you start to gain confidence in your driving skills. You just need to remember that it’s hard for everyone at first. The best drivers of today may have possibly had the worst driving anxiety when they started out. You will start driving very consciously when you first start.
