acceleration lanes
Highway entry ramps
Acceleration lanes are sections of roadway that allow vehicles entering a highway to build speed before merging with faster-moving traffic.
They typically run parallel to the main lanes, giving drivers space to match the flow: Use the acceleration lane to get up to highway speed before merging.
Also called on-ramps or merge lanes.
