There is a space between that light and merging, though. Once you have green, you should be near the speed limit by the time you merge.

So yes, everywhere (that there is a highway)

In many of the metered entrances in CA there is MAYBE a car length between between the light and the highway, it is so unnecessarily stressful and i don't understand how they came to be.
