Q: Riverside's William Anderson disputes an answer given in a prior column
to a reader who asked about right-of-way where traffic is entering a freeway.
California Highway Patrol Lt. Michael Soubirous had answered that neither a
driver on the freeway nor the driver merging onto the freeway has right-of-
way and that both parties have to "work it out" so traffic merges seamlessly
into a single lane.
"According to the California Department of Motor Vehicles Handbook,"
Anderson wrote, " ... it clearly states that the freeway traffic has the
right of way."
A: Anderson is correct that the handbook tells drivers that traffic already
on the freeway has the right-of-way over vehicles entering from the onramp (
it's on page 53 of the 2010 handbook).
Responding to Anderson's comment, Soubirous said, "That is DMV's opinion
only, and there is no vehicle code section basis for this opinion."
The state vehicle code documents the actual laws the CHP enforces.
"If a collision occurred while the 'merge' was happening between two
vehicles," Soubirous wrote, "law enforcement would not refer to the driver's
handbook. We would refer to the vehicle code to find collision 'fault,'
which often has court-tested case law to back it up."
Soubirous acknowledges that this topic has been the subject of debate before.
In the past he's discussed it with leaders at the CHP Academy and CHP
headquarters to get a consensus on the question. He also recounted a
conversation with CHP and DMV officials in Sacramento.
The DMV leaders said they based the handbook's opinion of freeway right-of
way on vehicle code section 21804(a), which deals with entry onto a highway.
But, as Soubirous noted, in the code's parlance, "highway" doesn't mean "
freeway," it means any kind of road -- local streets included.
Section 21804(a) deals with entry onto a roadway from public or private
property or an alley, he said. Typically the section is used when somebody
enters the road from a parking lot, Soubirous said.
But in the case of a freeway onramp, "the moment you enter the ramp, you're
on a 'highway' already," the lieutenant said. The ramp is, in effect, its
own freeway lane, which in turn merges with the rightmost one at the end of
the ramp, he said. So, the handbook's reliance on this section for the
freeway-merge opinion is shaky, Soubirous said.
Like the driver handbook, the vehicle code is published by the DMV,
Soubirous added. But the code sets forth the law, while the handbook is "
general across-the-board opinion on safe driving practices," he said, adding
that the two don't always perfectly agree, he said.
"Professionally, I would recommend drivers follow the vehicle code," he said.
In this case, the code doesn't spell out explicitly what drivers should do
when entering a freeway, but because the move is considered a merge -- not a
case of one lane "yielding" to another, which is legally different --
drivers in this situation should use common sense to let traffic blend into
a single lane safely.

当年我也是认为高速上有路权,结果有一次高速上堵车,整个高速上就像停车场,边上
辅路上来的,很爽刷刷地开到路尽头,然后开挤。我这边没有空位,他连灯都不打就开
进来。我按了喇叭,他那边还很不爽。
后来在网上读了一些文章,辅路上来的车跟最右道是高速并道,不存在right of way,
出事的话50/50。

两车在两条lane merge虚线消失以后相撞大多是50:50,两车在此处都没有路权。在虚
线消失前相撞是ramp的车的错,这时ramp上的车是换lane。
