Merging onto an Interstate
What method do you use to enter an interstate from the on ramp to merge with traffic when towing?
Forum Discussion
In Illinois the merge means:
Merging Lanes
This sign tells you that two lanes of traffic going the same direction will soon merge into one lane. Be ready to either change
lanes or allow other traffic to merge into your lane. Merge signs
appear on expressways just before expressway ramps. The driver on the expressway slows down to let the driver on the ramp
merge.
Both drivers have responsibility. You have to make room. This is important in high traffic areas because most everyone except truckers follow to close to each other to allow save merging. All said I would rather not have to deal with Chicago expressways while towing in rush hour
