I do alot of local driving in Bucks County on the turnpike and Rt.95,and 295.
I've noticed people do not know what a YIELD sign means they will come off a ramp at high speeds and just merge in front of you without looking if it is safe or thinking that the car on the highway will move over. I know its common courtesy to move over but when you can't you almost have to slam your brakes on to let the car coming from the ramp. I don't know what the answer is maybe better training for new drivers i'm sure their is alot of accidents that are caused by this.
A couple of times when I was coming from a ramp and slowing down to a stop cars actually stopped to let me out. does penndot do any advertising about what YIELD SIGNS mean. hoping to hear from you.

That's a good question. I've experienced the same problem, too.
I often have to stop on one of the I-83 ramps because you can't see traffic until you're at the top of the hill. It's a busy stretch, too, and I often can't merge immediately because there is traffic in both lanes. But drivers behind me often get impatient and rush out anyway.
At the bottom of that same ramp, where I get on, I don't have the yield sign. But some drivers who do have the yield sign speed up when someone else coming.
I'll have to check with PennDOT officials to see if they have addressed this issue.
