We are talking about an off ramp(Hello) Get the stories straight.

Everyone entering I 95 off Broadway onto I 95 south bound "must" have just finished driver ed.......Please notice the sign says "YIELD"

Most "freeways" use MERGE signs which have a different meaning from YIELD.

Yield only establishes who should give way if there is a conflict. If you're doing 55 and I'm doing 55, and you have positioned yourself to fit in the gap between me and another car, you've entered I-95 just as you're supposed to. There is no conflict at all, so no need to stop.

Stopping on a freeway on-ramp is a sure-fire way to get hit from behind. Very unsafe, and very STUPID.

mlf, and NOT stopping on an on-ramp is a sure-fire way to get broadsided by an 18-wheeler as you enter the freeway! YIELD means YIELD to the traffic on the freeway, no matter what.

daffodil, not going be an issue if you are watching the traffic on the Interstate as you accelerate. It's really simple, you spot a gap in traffic, accelerate as you go down the ramp, and you pace yourself so the gap gets to the end of the ramp at the same time you do. You only need a space a little bigger than your car to do it.

What's so difficult to understand? You don't have to yield to people that are coming up BEHIND you if you're going the same speed as them. You'll be out of the way before they even get to the merge point, if you're matching the speed, like you're supposed to. The only one you have to yield to is the guy who will be beside you at the end of the ramp. That's just a simple matter of an adjustment of speed (maybe you drop back to 53 instead of 55) to let him pass you so that you just slip right in behind.

It doesn't require anything beyond PAYING ATTENTION to the traffic on the Interstate and pacing yourself to go with the flow.

Step on the pedal enough to get up to speed and you'll find that it is a lot easier and smoother than stopping because you didn't bother to use the acceleration ramp the way it was intended to be used.

I will reiterate, if you are going the same speed as traffic on the Interstate, the only cars you need to yield to are those who will be at the end of the ramp at the same time as you. If you do it right, there won't be any.

It's a maneuver no more complicated than changing lanes once you're already on the freeway. You have to yield in that situation as well. You sure as heck aren't going to stop and wait for them all to clear out though, are you? Of course not! You're going to look for a gap, and put yourself in it. That's the extent of the yielding required when you're going the same speed as everyone else.

Lets cut to the chase for everyone. The on ramps in bangor, are what they are(Too short for most of you ,are talking about). The on ramp from OldTown up north is the right size ramp entry.. You can see each other and adjust speed according to..Bangor ramps are all wrong the way they are made. Traffic hazards.
