Florida Learner's Permit Practice Test

What should you do if you encounter a sign indicating a divided highway ahead?

Increase your speed to merge with traffic. Slow down and prepare to change lanes. Maintain your speed and continue driving. Prepare to exit the highway.

Correct Answer:

Slow down and prepare to change lanes.

Explanation:

When approaching a sign indicating a divided highway ahead, it is important to slow down and prepare to change lanes. This is because a divided highway is typically a multi-lane road with a physical barrier or median separating the opposing lanes of traffic. It is important to stay in the correct lane and not increase your speed, as this can be dangerous and potentially cause a collision with oncoming traffic. Maintaining your speed and continuing to drive may also be unsafe, as you may not have enough time to react to the changing road conditions. Finally, preparing to exit the highway is not the correct answer, as the sign indicates a divided highway ahead, not an exit. This decision could potentially lead to dangerous and illegal maneuvers.
