#1 Know it well.
Just past the Redline Dragstrip, heavy construction with 'random' traffic rerouting as speed limit drops from 75(nie 85) to 65.

Idiots coming up the entrance ramp gotta hit 75 to merge. Some do, some wait for a traffic gap at the top of the ramp, some ramp-up and merge below lane speed.

And they put traffic circles (that slows everyone down even more) right before the ramps around here.

Although parts of Wyoming and New Mexico just have 90-degree turns and what seems to be about 60-80 feet of ramp.
