What is the exit gore on a West Virginia interstate, and may you stop in it?
- The triangular area between the through lane and the exit ramp; do not stop there
- A paved rest area beside the ramp where stopping is allowed
- The acceleration lane for entering traffic
- A lane reserved for trucks
Answer: The triangular area between the through lane and the exit ramp; do not stop there. The gore is the painted triangle where the exit ramp splits away from the through lane. Drivers who miss their exit are tempted to stop there and back up, but the handbook says do not stop in an exit gore: it is not a shoulder, it sits between two streams of fast traffic, and a vehicle stopped there is a target for both. If you miss an exit, keep going to the next one. The gore is not a rest area, an acceleration lane, or a truck lane.
