Yeah, ramp speeds are amusing, at least here in the US. There is a ramp here in Augusta that is "rated" 30mph coming off of I-520 (not really a speed limit per se I don't think), I routinely take it at about 80 with ease. Makes you wonder exactly how they came about with a 30mph calculation..

60 years ago when cars could only do 30mph.

and besides the government needs areas like that so that people will speed knowing that the speed limit is off and get tickets. they gotta make money some how right?

Reminds me of the time I was down in WA driving on the I5. Cop pulls up beside me and for several hundred feet in the pitch black night shines his #$&@ search light IN MY FACE while I'm doing 60 MPH on the highway. WTF is up with that? I just held the wheel straight and hoped for the best.

Semi's, dump trucks, and people who can't handle a car....

And perhaps engineering limitations for the roadway/structure...
