 Highway 403 (Ontario) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A loop ramp and directional ramp served 410 SB to 401 EB and vice versa, making for only a partial interchange since Highway 410 was only a two-lane freeway at the time.
However, the long term plans called for Highway 403 to maintain its east/west alignment and completely bypass the QEW until Burlington, making it possible that the short existing connection to the QEW would later be incorporated into the original routing of Highway 407.
Highway 403 was finally made continuous by multiplexing it with the QEW (a rarity in Ontario for 400-series highways) in 2002.

 STATE OF MICHIGAN
To be a point of hazard for purposes of the highway exception, the condition must be one that uniquely affects vehicular travel on the improved portion of the roadway, as opposed to a condition that generally affects the roadway and its surrounding environment.
In this case, given the physical construction of the connector ramp at issue, we conclude that the barrier curb must be considered part of the improved portion of the highway designed for vehicular travel, and is within the highway exception to governmental immunity.
To legally dissect the highway where the gutter pan meets the barrier curb and find that the barrier curb is not part of the improved portion of the highway designed for vehicular travel is contrary to the tenor of case precedent and the legislative purpose underlying the highway exception.

 Big Dig Highway Ramp to Reopen, Big Dig Ramp to Reopen After Nearby Tunnel Collapse; Funnels Traffic Toward Boston ...
The eastbound ramp funnels traffic toward the Ted Williams Tunnel and Boston's Logan International Airport, and is key to easing traffic congestion originating south of the city.
The ramp was closed shortly after an accident July 10 that killed a 39-year-old woman as she and her husband drove through a connector tunnel and their car was crushed by 12 tons of falling ceiling panels.
The ramp expected to reopen represents only about 10 percent of the Big Dig tunnels and ramps that have been closed since Del Valle's death.

This is displayed near the top of the ramp to tell the drivers what speed they need to drive to match the traffic and thus, have a better chance of merging correctly.
Also, the sign is at the TOP of the ramp, back where you would start to increase your speed therefore it would not affect your concentration at the merging area.
Here in Florida they have on ramps where the status quo is to wait for a big gap and then speed up and merge on the highway.

 Jeff's Streets Page--SF Bay Area - Highway 17
The two loop ramps from Highway 17 onto Highway 9/Saratoga Avenue would be demolished, and the remaining two ramps from Highway 17 onto Highway 9 would now meet Highway 9 at two separate signalized intersections on opposite sides of the overpass.
A similar congestion situation to Highway 17 south of Highway 85 occurred on Highway 17 between Highway 85 and Camden Avenue right after Highway 85 was opened in 1995, and Caltrans eventually extended the third lane (on both sides of the freeway) down from Camden to Highway 85, eliminating that bottleneck instantly.
This ramp was originally proposed to be part of the interchange, which was first proposed to have no circular loop ramps, and you can even see part of the concrete abutment for the proposed ramp on your left alongside the short upgrade on the northbound ramp leading to the existing loop ramp.

Ramp meters are scheduled to be activated early next year along eight Interstate 15 and U.S. Highway 95 interchanges, joining a pair of U.S. 95 ramps that already have such devices.
Essentially, the meters are stoplights that allow vehicles to enter the freeway one at a time in hopes of thinning slowdowns that occur around interchanges, when a cluster of cars entering the freeway tries to merge with traffic already on the freeway.
Pasumarthi hopes to activate new northbound U.S. 95 ramp meters from Las Vegas Boulevard and Eastern Avenue and southbound meters from Eastern as soon as Jan. 16.

Integrated adaptive signal control, highway ramp metering, and alternative route information can help balance heavy traffic loads and improve commute times.
As part of the European TABASCO (Telematics Applications in Bavaria, Scotland, and Others) project, traffic-responsive urban control (TUC) strategies were developed and applied to the M-8 corridor in Glasgow, Scotland.
Adaptive signal control systems, highway ramp metering, and dynamic message signs (DMS) were integrated using real-time traffic data to balance network traffic loads during peak periods of congestion.
