1- Scan

Before entering into freeway check traffic to determine your speed

2- Ramp speed

Read the speed limit posted on the ramp (yellow signs), and your speed should be close to the posted sign.

Note: For curved ramps, the speed limit usually is 30-40 km at the beginning of ramps. (e.g., Newmarket)

            For Straight ramps speed limit, usually 50-60 km at the beginning of ramps. (Downsview)

3- Ramp spacing

Have at least 3 seconds following distance from vehicles ahead of you.

4- Speed up

At the end of the ramp when you got parallel to freeway speed up

5- Scan traffic and assess traffic speed.

6- When the yellow line on left-hand side change to white line M.S.B. (Mirrors, signal, Blindspot)

7- Merging

Accelerate according to traffic speed

A- When traffic moves slower than the posted limit (e.g. 100) merge with traffic speed.

B- If traffic moves faster than the limit (e.g. 120), you will merge with the posted limit (e.g. 100).

C- When there is no traffic, just merge with the posted speed sign (e.g. 100).

And then merge by checking for a gap and increase your speed and adjust your speed if it was necessary.
