When entering a curve in the roadway:

Maintain a steady speed
Move into the right lane
Reduce your speed
Increase your speed

The correct answer is: Reduce your speed

When entering a curve in the roadway, it is important to reduce your speed. This is because curves can be more dangerous than straight roads due to the centrifugal force that pulls your vehicle towards the outside of the curve. By reducing your speed, you can better maintain control of your vehicle and decrease the chances of losing control and potentially causing an accident. It is also important to note that increasing your speed can be dangerous as it can cause your vehicle to skid and potentially lose control. Moving into the right lane may be necessary depending on the road signs and instructions, but it is not a default rule for entering a curve. Maintaining a steady speed may also be incorrect as a decrease or increase in speed may be necessary depending on the sharpness of the curve. Therefore, reducing your speed is the best and safest option when entering a curve in the roadway.
