“For southbound I-5 drivers trying to exit at Union Street (Exit 165B), it can be downright dangerous. That’s because most drivers, when they’re exiting a freeway via an off ramp, expect some sort of gradual transition from high-speed restricted highway to low-speed, intersection-regulated surface street. At this exit, not so much any of that. One minute you’re going close to 60 mph in an exit lane, the next you’re in a sharp, nearly 90-degree turn with a 20 mph recommended speed limit, and at the end of that there’s an intersection a short distance from the tunnel exit. Oh yeah, don’t forget that you essentially pop into a tunnel right before the off ramp starts.” #accident #freeway #safety #driving #drivers #highway #seattle #stunts #ramp #fails #townplanning #brakes #cars #drive
