    Ive taken that ramp a lot over the years. Ive had drivers get right up on my ### and blow their airhorns or curse me out on the CB more then once before for taking it at or even the posted speeds if i have a loose load. Your average driver couldnt drive a #### kiddys push car. God forbid a semi anymore.

    Apparently all of that is not enough to make the DOT realize that this ramp needs to be redesigned.

    Ramp doesnt need to be redesigned. Drivers need to learn to read and follow ppsted signs

    For some reason it is thought too horrific for tender European eyes. Do Canadians have the same problem, the error sign says limited to the USA. Just wondering :rolleyes:

    The ramp is dangerous and needs to be redesigned. Interstate traffic should not have to slow down to 40 MPH or less in order to navigate a ramp that was built with a curve that is too sharp and nowhere near enough banking.
