Is it me and and my old 1 ton truck that have difficulty getting up to speed reentering the pike after stopping in one of the service plazas located in the center of the highway that u enter to and from the fast lane?? R those ramps just a bit too short?
If I get a good run right out of the parking lot and floor it all the way down the ramp I can not even get to 70, about 65, and often encounter traffic going 75+ in the hammer lane when I get to it. That's with a 1 ton van mind u. How does a 50000 lb+ vehicle fair? Some of the reentry ramps even have a moderate curve half way down in them that inhibits u from using most of it to get to a safe merging speed.
How in the hell or what was the designers thinking? I think it's nuts.
I do not think there would be anything in those areas important enough to get me in there with a truck or bus taking into consideration the redicules short reentry ramps that forces u to merge into traffic going almost 80mph in the fast lane from a ramp that is way way too short.
Just my 2 cents.
