   The Red Hook example seems particularly bad since it's on a curve.   
      
   But lots of NYC area interchanges are crappy because the roads were built a   
   long time ago, many pre-war, and, traffic volumes are very high.   
      
      
   Two 1950s-era Phila area expwys were originally built with very short entrance   
   ramps.  One still has them, but its traffic volume is light, so entering isn't   
   difficult.  The other expy carried much higher traffic volumes and had a high   
   fatality rate.     
   That road was finally rebuilt with much better ramps.
