The divided highway has some type of physical barrier between traffic flow.
You need traffic engineers to design road/highway systems that are effective and safe.

curves are provided in the change of direction of the alignment. It provides in smooth movement of traffic.
A freeway is a "controlled-access" highway that's designed exclusively for high-speed vehicular traffic and highways typically have lower speed limits, may pass through inhabited areas where there are traffic signals, pedestrians or other slower traffic.

The Difference between a merge and a yield is, when your merging, you are entering oncoming traffic with out stopping, and yielding s letting the traffic pass you and then going when the coast is clear.
The major cause of accidents between vehicles already on a highway and a vehicle entering a highway from an entrance ramp is because ramp motorists fail to YIELD.YIELD signs mean, allow traffic already on the highway to pass and proceed only when there is safe and clear distance to MERGE into moving traffic.
Watch for highway machinery Watch for cross traffic and traffic turning onto or off of the highway.
