I would fight the ticket arguing, based on the information provided, that I was using the off-ramp in the manner it was intended and that the officer used poor judgement in failing to take this into consideration.
With respect to the other suggestions that ticketing is some sort of revenue generating device I'm not too sure. I say this because certain types of enforcement and proof thereof is needed to recieve certain federal highway funds and this, more often then not, is the culprit. Stepped-up enforcement on on/off ramps seems odd to me though. While it's been years since I took the written test doesn't the manual address using the on-ramp to merge onto the highway at highway speeds? And if so, an off-ramp is used in the same manner but to slow down to the collector speed limit?
