When entering a motorway or dual carriageway via the acceleration lane, must you give way?

Correct answer

Yes.

When entering a motorway or dual carriageway via the acceleration lane, you must always give way. This means that at the start of the lane, you must ensure you can merge without danger, give way to vehicles travelling on the road you intend to join, even stopping if necessary, and then accelerate to reach the appropriate speed at the end of the lane to merge safely into the traffic flow on the motorway or dual carriageway. This practice is essential to ensure a safe and smooth merge, avoiding dangerous situations and facilitating traffic flow on the main road.
