Even after 60 years of limited access highways there are still a lot
of people who do not know how to do a clean merge into moving traffic.
It should be part of the test for a driver's license in my opinion.

That was the only good thing I can say about Beltway traffic in the
70s and early 80s. People didn't have any trouble merging ...
unless we got some yokel from out of town.

It was a thing of beauty watching some of those exits when you were
coming off a hill where you get a good view, Cars were exiting and
entering like cogs on a gear and all at 65-70.

All it took was one guy to stop and "wait for an opening" all hell
broke loose tho.

65 MPH in bumper to bumper traffic scares the hell out of out-of-
towners.

Pussies

Try that speed on some of the new ramps in the Springfield-Alexandria
area, and you'll be in low earth orbit.
