Thanks, this is helpful. If they had also specified the norms for exiting, just like they have for merging, it would have been nice.

I actually have seen this in my village, where a panchayat road meets the service road. Inverted, red border triangle, with give way written inside. But now it is rusting in the bushes.

Thanks. I will search through.

It's not about being the victim. I am miffed when i'm exiting the highway, with a fully loaded truck barrelling down behind me, and i have to wait because the scooter guy on the service road decides to speed up only to obstruct my exit. Having witnessed high speed rear endings, because of vehicles stopping on the national highway, i'm not too keen on experiencing it first hand. Thus, sometimes i HAVE to exit, and the service road users try to argue rules. So i was looking to see if i was indeed right or if i was carrying incorrect information.

This might be in the outskirts where land is plenty. Usually in Indian highway - service road setups that i've seen, the service road is strictly parallel to the highway, and there will be a break in the divider between the highway and service road for about 10 m for highway entry AND exit.

I am looking for information on when vehicles intentionally disrupt an exit maneuver, rather than being full due to traffic volume.

I actually did not know this, but it makes sense.

I think you slightly misunderstood. The highway speed limit it 90km/h in this example. Other vehicles on it are moving at around those speeds. The vehicle trying to exit will obviously have to slow down. But if it stops for minutes at the mouth of the exit, while on the highway, the chance of being rear ended, and causing multi vehicle collisions is high.

On a related note, i was using these new AI enabled search engines to further research the topic. Alarmingly, i found them quoting this very thread, and presenting as fact, our opinions and speculations!

This highlights the need to check and quote sources when making an assertion. Unfortunately, it is also quoting in an affirmative sense, my original post, which i meant in a interrogative/ as a question. My statements could very well be wrong, when one actually checks the rules.

Social media was bad enough promoting misinformation and confirmation bias. Now i feel we are in a whole new era of erroneous information propagating.
