    Default Well the bridge is on its way

    from 316 on to 85 south.. Instead of merging from the left.. you will be going over 85 south and mergin to the right... easier to get off if you are going to Pleasant hill rd. ABOUT DAMN TIME!!
    I can imagine already the great traffic in the mean time
    should be done in 2 years.

    WOW

    that is so good
    ill be coming from the 120 entrance trying to get into the left lane/hov at like 75 mph and the ppl coming from 316 will try to merge at like 55mph

    not cool at all many accidents are just avoided

    for the rest of the 2 years, if your coming down 316, then get up to about 70(a doable speed for everybody) and you will find changing lanes is alot easier






    IMO, ppl who drive slow cause more accidents then those who drive fast (especially on th ehighway)

    and speed does not cause a wreck, stupidity while speeding causes a wreck

    Well since theres no HOV lane and if you know that intersection is there and is not to safe to be going fast, why dont you slow down?

    there is an HOV lane, it comes up very soon after that ramp comes on, to get to that lane you have to be with traffic (70-75)

    the people coming from 316 are going at most 65 when they merge, 10mph is a huge difference to have to slow down for changing lane, i mean if worst comes to worst, then stay in right lanes and then stay in the middle of the freeway after passing most of the people frorm 316, hopefully fined a free spot and then merge, but then you get causght in more slow ppl and Pleasant hill traffic

    problems with that junction:

    316 entering on left
    no entering HOV when its solid
    traffic is still going about 75 on 85S v 60 for 316

    I understand perfectly,, But why can't you slow down is what Im asking if you already know whats ahead?

    Is easier to slow down coming down 85s as you aproach that area of congestion then trying to speed up with only 2 lanes going into one from to 316 to 85s

    its just a really effed up junction

    but most the people get by it okay

    still that 2% that are mostly new drivers and women (lol, jp, asian women (jp AznTraitor)) would greatly benefit by changing the intersection
