allow the oncoming traffic to
enter. Failure to do so can
result in long line-ups on the
entrance ramps and ac-
cidents where the ramp and
freeway converge.

Once on the freeway,
Maintain the posted speed
limit and stay in the “slow”
lane unless you are passing.
How many of you have been
driving along and been
blocked by two cars driving

side by side? Neither willing
to slow down or speed up, to
allow the traffic behind to
pass. I cannot stress enough
the importance of driving in
the slow lane whenever
possible. While driving on
the freeway it is imperative
to USE signals when
- Changing lanes or exiting and
entering the freeway. It is
ILLEGAL to pick up hitch-
hikers on the freeway
because of the accident
potential. If for some reason
you must stop while on the

freeway, signal your inten-
tion, check ALL your
mirrors, shoulder check,
pull over to the shoulder and
Stop. Before you get out of
your vehicle activate your
emergency flashers, check
your mirrors, then exit your
vehicle. If your vehicle
breaks down follow the
above procedure plus lifting
the hood of yur vehicle. This
warns other drives of a
problem. DO NOT attempt

lo change flat tires on the
roadway side of the freeway.
If you must leave your
vehicle overnight, you
should have some type of
emergency warning device
placed approximately 100
yards to the rear.

When leaving the freeway
it tS important to be in the
proper lane. It is very
dangerous to STOP and back
up if you miss your exit.
Prepare yourself by being
aware of the exit prior to the
one which you want. Signal
