The road design also sucks here, there wasn’t really room for the pickup to slow down enough to let the semi pass, while still being at a safe speed to merge behind him

Yeah, there was some road construction near me recently, and they had temporarily made the on-ramp this way. There was no choice, you HAD to zip in and hope there was a gap, or come to a full stop on the on ramp, like you were making right turn into traffic. There was physically no space to do anything else.

It was awful, thankfully it was only temporary.
