Question

the main factors in determining your speed on an acceleration lane are *

roadway surface and pedestrian traffic
following distance and traffic flow
weather conditions and traffic controls
the amount and speed of traffic on the acceleration lane and expressway

a minimum speed limit is *

the same as the maximum speed limit
intended to keep traffic from involving too slowly
intended to control drivers regardless of weather conditions
the basic speed limit

Explanation:

Analyze acceleration lane speed factors

The first question asks for the main factors in determining speed on an acceleration lane.

• An acceleration lane is designed to allow drivers to increase their speed to match the flow of traffic on the expressway before merging.
• Therefore, the primary factors are the volume (amount) and speed of the traffic already on the expressway, as well as any traffic ahead in the acceleration lane itself.
• This directly relates to the concepts of Acceleration Lane Function and Speed Management.
• The correct option is "the amount and speed of traffic on the acceleration lane and expressway".

Analyze minimum speed limit purpose

The second question asks about the definition or purpose of a minimum speed limit.

• Minimum speed limits are established on high-speed roadways (like expressways) to prevent vehicles from moving too slowly, which can disrupt traffic flow and cause rear-end collisions.
• Looking at the options, "intended to keep traffic from involving too slowly" (likely a slight typographical error in the test for "moving too slowly") matches this safety purpose.
• This relates to the concept of Speed Management.
• The correct option is "intended to keep traffic from involving too slowly".

Answer:

Question 1

• roadway surface and pedestrian traffic
• following distance and traffic flow
• weather conditions and traffic controls
• the amount and speed of traffic on the acceleration lane and expressway (Correct answer)

Question 2

• the same as the maximum speed limit
• intended to keep traffic from involving too slowly (Correct answer)
• intended to control drivers regardless of weather conditions
• the basic speed limit
