Why do people from Stoneham merge on to I-93 at 25 mph?
I just moved here from FL and this seems insane to me. Is this normal? They're going to get someone killed, the limit is 65 mph at that ramp. I wish it was like a one time thing but it's like every 3rd day I get stuck behind a different car that merges below 30 mph and then eventually will get up to speed a couple of miles down the road. Am I crazy?
I love all the news articles that get posted to this community, but sometimes its just a lot of fun to vent and complain about mundane stuff. I hope we get more posts like this.
That being said, I don't find myself on 93 too often these days as I live in Metrowest, so I am on 90 and 95 much more. I run into similar issues though on a couple ramps. One that drives me crazy in particular is the route 9 exit for Framingham off of 90 West (so, the reverse situation you are describing). People slow down for that exit like 2 miles in advance when it is completely unnecessary. Slow down on the ramp, not on the highway people. It's not hard!
I have lived in the area now for (checks notes) 14 years and there are sometimes just certain spots that are always annoying.
