LAFENGAS:
Matt i would really like to hear your reasoning to this. I find it very hard to believe that if you are established in the far right lane of a highway with a merging lane on your right side, that a vehicle has the right-of-way in a lane you are already driving in. Doesn’t make sense to me at all.
Any time a vehicle changes lanes, the lane changer is always yielding to traffic in the lane they intend to move to. Correct me if i’m wrong, but merging lane speeds onto a thruway are reduced for this reason.
The on-ramp ends, the highway does not. Call NYS and ask them if you don’t believe me. Unless the on-ramp has a yield or a stop sign, the ramp has the right of way.
