Correct answer
At a speed appropriate to the road and traffic, respecting limits and priority.
Aim to join at a speed appropriate to the road and traffic, respecting limits and giving way to users already on it. Check at the start of the lane that joining is safe, stopping if necessary, then accelerate to an appropriate speed at its end to join safely. The prescribed maximum or minimum is not always required, and acceleration does not replace checking priority.
