Yep, we have that here too. And it's uphill, and a blind curve (well, blind 
given it's a 70MPH expressway) for the people not merging, and the merge 
length is only a few car lengths, and there's an exit right after that 
people on the expressway are angling towards too.

I've learned to watch the goobers even before getting to the ramp, and I've 
learned to hang back anyway in case.  But I try to avoid that ramp when I 
have a choice, too, just because it's so poorly engineered.
