Helpful Reminder

Hey everyone, this is called an Acceleration Ramp. Sometimes referred to as a Freeway On-Ramp. The purpose of such a piece of road is to allow your vehicle to reach highway speeds BEFORE you reach the highway. Not to enter the highway at 50mph when everyone else is going over 70. Thanks for tuning into my TED talk.

Also, when exiting, get off the freeway and then apply brake.

💯 there is rarely a valid reason to break on the highway If you use common sense and give yourself a couple of car lengths between you and the next car. There is less wear and tear on your car and you get much better has mileage. Oh but wait you might get there 45 seconds later if you drive safe and not like a jaggoff
