Dude. We're talking about Wisconsin. Where people come to a complete stop on onramps to the Interstate instead of accelerating and merging into traffic.

(I just pass them on the shoulder).

maybe that is why the state song is “on Wisconsin.” they’d forget and sit stopped forever otherwise?

THAT is an American problem

Americans have been SO intimidated and terrorized by SO MANY things in life, (did that food be processed with peanuts?) ... they WANT to be stopped, given a time out, before THEY ARE ALLOWED (red, MAY I?) to continue

red lights and stop signs are for discourteous people that don't know how to drive.

Kansas has the same issue.

There’s also the mentality of “THIS IS MY LANE! I REFUSE TO BE COURTEOUS AND MOVE!” It makes merging hell.

I found it more stress free driving in Los Angeles than Wichita.

Kansas City is a whole different matter.

Speed limit: 60; Construction Zone, Speed limit: 40. I’m doing 70 and being passed like I’m standing still.

And here I thought that was a SW Pennsylvania thing.

No wonder our people cheer for the Green Bay Packers once the Steelers are out of the playoffs.

I live in the SE corner of the State and we get our share of Illinois traffic on the I-94 corridor. People in Wisconsin can keep up and go with the flow!

A few years ago Milwaukee County placed 'timer controlled traffic lights (red/green)' at the entrance to the on-ramps. They were universally hated and didn't last for long before they were yanked...
