I believe that's generally true but this is the Usenet and someone will want to climb all over it. ;-)
Sounds like it.
Usually the lane disappears up the exit ramp and then reappears on the other side with the entrance ramp. Repeat for next exit.
Huh? The lane does disappear. It's not also the entrance ramp.
It ends well beyond the gore point. Thus, the lane is not "exit only".

The "Exit Only" sign refers to the exit lane, not the one that continues.
Probably.
They are the same lane. http://g.co/maps/pvm3 If you can count to 4, count the lanes before and after the gore point. -----

Jeez, the sign is after the split (your "Gore point"), on the exit ramp.
What does this have to do with the situation I am questioning? In my case the lane that is marked as Exit Only continues right on past the exit.
There is no need to exit, go through an intersection and get back on the highway. The 55 MPH speed is maintained just as if it was the right lane at any other point on the highway.
" in all my years of driving I've never seen an Exit Only sign where an open lane actually continued beyond the Exit "
I had to conclude you meant where the exit only lane continues beyond the exit and thus is not exit only as signed. -----

Drives me nuts, how common it is here for people with the right of way to stop and gesture to cars waiting to to enter traffic to come on in. They think they're being nice, but they're backing up traffic behind them and increasing the risk of an accident.
