Did you or some one in front of you slow or stop at or beyond the 
beginning of the merge point on the on ramp? Nothing irritates me
more then drivers that stop or slow down in merge areas of on ramps.
The sign says YIELD not STOP and just because the solid white line
moves to the left does not mean you can't execrate up to the speed
of the rest of traffic beyond the striped portion of the on ramp
before merging in to said traffic.
