^^^Right on! Rt 15 is infested with these and there's fender-benders on the ramps literally every day with the occasional catastrophic wreck during failed merges thrown in for good measure. The ensuing traffic jams (every loving day) from rubber-necking and condensing lanes around the wrecks are miserable. The 91/95 interchange in New Haven, especially the parts where Rt 34 sticks its dick into the mess. What the gently caress and is it even possible to fix it? Specifically, everything involving the Q Bridge and, if you have time after that, the whole 91S debacle. It seems like the only answer is "more lanes," but that's not very likely, ever. Is a better design possible or are we just hosed forever? Digger-254 fucked around with this message at 18:23 on Aug 3, 2009 |

smackfu posted:Are the MUTCD comments online? I found this page with the changes (I think): I know, I know... it just blows my mind that when they were designing the ramps not only did some guy say "Hey guys, lets put half the on-ramps on the wrong side of the underpasses!" but then enough other people were like "Yeah, awesome!!" that it actually loving happened. I'm imagining a similar discussion happened when the question of the angle of the off-ramps was introduced, and the reaction was so overwhelmingly positive that they decided to put the two together in all those cases. Many high-fives were then exchanged while the very first two cars smashed together in the background.
