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. -- ====================================================================== NT Geek, John R Cambron Carpenter, Transit Geek, North Beach MD USA I am getting Road Geek, Remove '*' to reply by email to old Railroad Geek, fairland@mail.*chesapeake*.net for this Model Railroader HO N kind of work! ======================================================================
