Most substandard on- or off-ramp on an Interstate

I guess it's better than the unofficial on-ramp that used to exist before they extended the guardrail:

10 mph as of 2024

As hard as those turns are, they might as well erect stop signs.

Exits 210 on I-5 in CA are particularly egregious examples of RIROs on a mainline interstate.
Southbound, there's only a sliver of pavement to accelerate/decelerate on and a tiny concrete island crowded with signs. Northbound at least has the decency to let you weave with low speed traffic (the truck lane is signed for 35 instead of 65), but bizarrely, it features two pairs of ramps. Both have the same exit number and connect to the same intersection, which features a stray center line and only a single stop sign despite four approaches.

Yes, the northbound ramps are a real WTF interchange. I never understood what the point was. I always use the second RIRO, but I can stomp on it to merge with the trucks. Slower vehicles might be better off using the first RIRO. But tractor trailers can't get on I-5 at the first one because it's too tight.

But I think the AADT on those could be two digits.

This is the WB I-90/SR-2 Ramp to E. 156th St. This is coming from a 60 MPH freeway (average speed 70+) to a short residential street ramp with a stop sign on a semi-blind curve.   

Not sure if the overhead exit sign is MUTCD-compliant with the STOP AHEAD line on it.
