Why do people from Stoneham merge on to I-93 at 25 mph? (lemmy.world)

I just moved here from FL and this seems insane to me. Is this normal? They're going to get someone killed, the limit is 65 mph at that ramp. I wish it was like a one time thing but it's like every 3rd day I get stuck behind a different car that merges below 30 mph and then eventually will get up to speed a couple of miles down the road. Am I crazy?

But also, as a native Californian who’s been here well over a decade at this point, there are some on/off-ramps here that are just comically sketchy. Like, a stop sign, a sharp right turn, and a major road that typically runs at 60mph with a decently high average traffic load.

Agreed, it seems out west on/off ramps are configured that the off ramp is before the on ramp, where as more often that not here the off ramp is like 100 feet down the road from the on ramp causing horrible bottlenecks.
