That tunnel exit is good car infrastructure. It's the natural progression of the bollard. A big loving wall.

I'd rather they add something so the wreckage doesn't careen into that crosswalk at the intersection.

OK, seeing that POV video I can understand. There should probably be more intense signage indicating that it is actually a don't-gently caress-around corner, but yeah some of these people look like they're still well over a buck coming out of the exit.

Drivers like to ignore the yellow recommend speed "that's for cowards not real men" and proceed to slide off off ramps

I'd be lying if I said I haven't grinningly said that to people, about my ramps (they're mine) when I used to rip around on the motorcycle. But I never went in blind, which is what it kind of looks like is happening there - are all these people new drivers, or not from around there? Has anyone ever wrecked multiple times there or do they learn their lesson?

Technically it's true, that yellow signs around corners are 'recommended speed' and not legal speed limits - maybe that whole thing should be re-evaluated, because people are going to get it in their heads that they're better drivers than they actually are and this is always the result.

yeah 95% of the yellow signs are stupid nonsense on corners you can comfortably take just fine if you're going the speed limit and paying attention so people get used to ignoring them, but 5% of them are "no seriously if you go any faster than this you will loving die"

I feel like many ramp speed limits aren’t because the turn is too sharp, but because it cuts off visibility. Could be a couch in the road just around the bend so even if you can take the turn handily you can’t brake in time for an obstacle you couldn’t see

there is LOS design consideration, but also that they need to be designed for some of the largest 20-ton vehicles that may use it whereas your typical 2k sedan or sportscar won't have any problem. so yes, ppl can ignore them 99% of the time

also they're considered Advisories, not limits.

Seattle drivers are militantly unaware of their environment. Their space-outedness is exceeded only by Portland drivers.

That's just my canadianity talking. Here our highway speed limits are typically 100kmh but it's not uncommon for the flow of traffic to be 20 to 30kmh over that.
