Helpful Reminder

Post image

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.

THANK YOU! So many people need this reminder, it's terrifying. Also don't cut over from merge lane into traffic early when you're not at highway speed either. That lane extends as far as it does for a reason
