What is the purpose of these ramps?

Pickup drivers involved in high speed pursuits are able to escape the police

Or they were fooled into taking that route by the sign, and they end up stuck, and busted.

You can use that ramp to runaway from trucks.

What is the purpose of these ramps?

Truck ramps have a bad habit of wandering off. If a DOT finds one in the wild, they're supposed to put up one of these signs so the DOT that owns it can find it.

What is the purpose of these ramps?

In preparation for the upcoming Motor Law to be passed in the year 2112, rouge truckers find a semi-conspicuous way to evade the pursuit of the Royal Kilted Yaksmen. The RKY smell fear, but cannot see yellow and amber due to the colorblind testing only required for red and green tartan.

A place to direct errant self-driving semis.  Because we all know errant self-driving vehicles will obey road signs.

I know it's not tomorrow yet, but you've clearly won this round.  A truly terrible answer!

What about truckers who aren't red or pink?

I'm sorry, but do I look like a Kilted Yaksman?

5/16/2026: What's the AADT on I-84 in Baker City, Oregon?

1,329,063, but only when the person with the correct name passes through. If he doesn't pass through, the average doesn't get calculated.

5/16/2026: What's the AADT on I-84 in Baker City, Oregon?

Since I would imagine an increased amount of freshly-baked goodies from Baker City; AADT clearly means All Amazing Donut Trucks, so the answer is likely 13 for a municipality of its size and stature.

[TheCatalyst31]

5/16/2026: What's the AADT on I-84 in Baker City, Oregon?

Probably between 1-84.

I drove I-84 through Baker City a couple weeks ago, so it's at least 1/365th.

5/17/2026: Should NoVA build more Interstates and what should we number them?

[Max Rockatansky]

5/17/2026: Should NoVA build more Interstates and what should we number them?

Why would a show on PBS get into building roads?

[jeffandnicole]

5/17/2026: Should NoVA build more Interstates and what should we number them?

If the answer is "No" do we still need to number them?

Dammit - I had the perfect question based on current discussions bleeding through into the favorite forum questions thread.  But to answer your question:

VA 28 will become I-366.  The speed limit will be 85.
