Would someone PLEASE redesign that off ramp? There's money being spent all over the place for unnecessary road repairs. Does it take someone dying to get something done?

The person who approved that ramp should be made to drive it twice a month at 40 mph in a semi loaded with C4.

I guess it's all in your perspective. I used to look forward to that ramp when I commuted to Manchester. It was the only piece of actually curvy road until I hit New Hampshire.
That said, it is a complete hazard.
