How should I plan a long trip across Denmark by car?

What are the rules for entering and exiting a Danish motorway?

You enter a motorway via the 'tilkørselsbane' (acceleration lane), increasing your speed to match traffic flow before merging. Exiting is done via the 'frakørselsbane' (deceleration lane), where you reduce speed after safely leaving the main carriageway.
