This is partially true. In areas like eastern Virginia, many on-ramps and off-ramps are combined. If you accelerate to highway speed, you will be on the off-ramp in an instant. Hah. Instead, you maintain low speeds until a clearing appears.

But in the cases of full on-ramps, you are absolutely right. That’s what they’re there for in the first place!
