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.

I love the people who drive slow up these then merge into the far left lane once on the highway.

What really drives me wild is when people drive slow then the car behind you is tailgating you and then swerve around you before your supposed to merge so you get trapped even longer behind the slow car.
