How fast should you be going when you merge onto a highway?
The rule
Use the acceleration lane to match the speed of traffic already on the highway, and don't cross the solid lines that separate the entrance from the highway.
Use the acceleration lane to match the speed of traffic on the highway, then merge into a gap big enough for your car.
From the Maryland Driver's Manual, Section 5, page 32. This question is our own wording of that rule. The handbook and the MVA have the final word.
