Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles Permit Practice Test

Which of the following statements about driving on a freeway is NOT correct?

1. You can cross a solid line immediately after entering or exiting

2. Freeways are designed for higher speeds

3. On freeways, merge lanes exist for entering and exiting

4. Never stop on the freeway unless instructed to do so

The correct answer is: You can cross a solid line immediately after entering or exiting

The statement that you can cross a solid line immediately after entering or exiting is not correct. In the context of freeway driving, solid lines indicate that crossing them is prohibited. This is usually the case where it is unsafe to change lanes, such as when entering or exiting the freeway. Drivers are required to stay within their lane, particularly when there are solid lines that signal no lane changes should occur. In the context of freeway rules, freeways are specifically designed to accommodate higher speeds, and they provide distinct lanes and merge areas to facilitate smoother transitions for vehicles entering and exiting. Stopping on a freeway is generally discouraged unless it's a situation of emergency or directed by law enforcement, as it poses significant safety hazards.
