I saw where a tanker crashed there. That is a new ramp that is really dangerous (288 southbound ramp to I610 West?). There are very few signs there and they need some better warnings.

I say new ramp but you can see from an above view on google that they added an exit lane from 610 and this exit ramp was tightened to merge with that new exit lane which makes it more of an exit joining an exit and you can't see how sharp it turns until you top the ridge then it may be too late. The grade also leans you to the left while you are making a hard right curve. You will see many more crashes there until they get some signs up. With all the black marks on the road it already looks like a pit entrance.

Thats the ramp where Punkin was upside down.

I just happened to have a run that brought me down that ramp today.
On the overhead sign there are two yellow signs that have the tippin truck and 40 mph. At the top of the ridge there are two yellow curve signs with 40 mph. With a full tanker and no sloshing I hit it at 45 and standing on the brakes to see how it felt I had some pull and brought it down to 40 and it felt pretty good. With a partial tanker I think anything over 40 might take you for a ride. I feel bad for that driver because it is a tricky ramp but I guess the moral to the story is be careful on unfamiliar ramps ?
