The stop at an on ramp yield is not just stupid, it’s dangerous.

The on ramp is there to give you enough time to get your speed consistent with the current highway traffic. That way, you can smoothly merge and drivers on the highway don’t have to do anything. If I am on an on-ramp, this is what I and the other cars behind me are doing - matching our travel speed to the highway speed - if you are the car in front of that line and you STOP at the yield, someone is going to rear end you and it’s not going to be pretty.

Don't ever drive in Pennsylvania. Their on-ramps literally have stop signs at the end before the merge point.

Last time I drove in Pennsylvania I kept getting stuck behind horse and buggy’s.
