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.

Feel free to post venting posts! As the mod, that somehow feels like inappropriate behavior for me.
