What must you be aware of when joining the motorway?

When joining a motorway in Germany, it's crucial to understand two key points.

Firstly, the merging traffic must yield to the through-driving traffic. This means that vehicles already on the motorway have the priority, and those merging onto the motorway need to adjust their speed and position accordingly to ensure a safe entry.

Secondly, the merging lane is designed for vehicles to match the speed of the traffic on the motorway, which typically means accelerating to merge safely. However, while it is important to increase speed, care should be taken not to exceed the speed limits.

Understanding these rules helps prevent accidents and promotes smooth traffic flow on the motorway.
