Stay Out of Harm's Way

Don't wait until the last minute to get onto a highway exit ramp. You can be rear-ended when creeping along in the right lane as you try to cut into the line of exiting traffic.
  • Solid roadway lines mean no passing is allowed. Passing here is unsafe and dangerous.
  • Merge at the end of an on-ramp. Trying to cut in early from the middle of the on-ramp can surprise other drivers and cause an accident.
  • Don't use a highway shoulder as a travel lane or to back up to a missed ramp.
  • Buckle Up. Even with air bags, seat belts are needed to ensure your safety.
  • Secure Your Child. Child safety seats are recommended from infancy until age 8.
  • Don't Drink and Drive.
