You do if you live near 405 or I-5 in the Seattle area, as most of the ramps are metered.But most people don't go from a dead stop (0)to freeway cruising speed (60) at any point in normal driving...

You are correct, although they have been around since mid eighties around here, now it seems they're at every on ramp. I don't think thats any reason why they use 60mph as the marker speed, I was just throwing things out there that may play a role.But 0-60 has been the standard for a while now. The metered lights onto the freeway is a new thing, right?
