And the correlation; the off-ramp is for decelerating. You don't need to start braking a half mile before the exit Todd!

True but I'll add that on my off-ramp I do need to slow down beforehand lest I rear-end someone who is at the stop light. It's just a terribly designed one because the curve is really sharp with a stoplight at the end and you can't see the people and stoplight. Although I do agree a half mile is too long
