Exit On-Ramps 

“There are two exits that have on-ramps along the 45-kilometre pass, at Londonderry and Glenholme.”

This was a recent comment in one of our local newspaper articles. I think I am being confused again. “There are two exits that have on-ramps.”

onramp Let me see, does that make it an exit? Or does that make it an on-ramp, which would be an entrance, wouldn’t it?

If you exit an on-ramp you would be entering the controlled access highway wouldn’t you? If you are on an on-ramp there is only one way to go.  I already figured out if you go in on an exit you are doing it wrong and may get into trouble.

Back to the original problem, if you have two exits that have on-ramps, someone has to be going the wrong way. Lets work this out. If I am on the controlled access highway, and leave it, I am using the exit, correct? If I am driving down the road and I am about to enter that same controlled access highway, I am using the on-ramp, right?

Where do these exit on-ramps take you to?  Maybe that is why so many motorists need GPS these days.

At least they are sensible - “Perform a U-turn when possible.”
