[Talk-us-massachusetts] Mass state routes & interstates using ramp tag

The wiki for this key

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:ramp

says in the description: "Whether a ramp for bicycles, strollers, 
wheelchairs or luggage is built into a stairway" The sidebar says it 
Requires "highway=steps". By chance I discovered a section of Route 3 
with ramp=yes. (Not the on-ramp) I checked all the New England states 
with overpass-turbo and no other state uses this tag on state routes or 
interstates, whereas Massachusetts uses it on almost every major 
highway, probably thousands of times. I'm pretty sure interstates are 
quite stair free, though the potholes might count. Is the wiki incorrect?
