Final answer:

Motorcyclists should avoid certain lanes on a freeway to ensure safety from visibility issues and merging traffic, specifically the right lane near exits and entrances, and lanes difficult to merge into.

Step-by-step explanation:

The lanes that should be avoided when driving on a freeway are:

  1. The right lane when approaching an exit ramp. Other vehicles may not see the motorcycle and might cut off the motorcyclist as they exit.
  2. Lanes that are difficult to merge into. Motorcycles have a smaller profile, and are difficult for other drivers to see, even when the motorcycle's turn signal is on.
  3. The right lane when approaching an entrance ramp; this ensures the motorcyclist avoids the traffic that will be merging onto the highway.

Each of these lanes presents potential safety hazards for motorcyclists, mainly due to visibility and merging traffic.
