Where I live, there are a lot of really short on-ramps.  When you're
forced to try to merge into traffic going 70 mph, and all the
accelleration you can muster only gets you to 40 mph by the end of the
ramp, it's pretty dangerous.


By the way, in Michigan we have both a legal maximum and a legal minimum
on our freeways.  The legal minimum speed is 45 mph.
