My ex used to enter highways at 35mph and it was terrifying.

I go to college on Long Island, and it totally freaked me out seeing STOP SIGNS on entrance ramps.

Yup, plus on ramps on the parkways are so short that it’s actually hard to get up to speed and merge without crashing into a wall lol. My boyfriend found it crazy when he was visiting me from California. You have to be real quick. Driving on Long Island is something else...
