I think we would get along nicely. I've been saying we need a "3 taps of the brakes" rule where after the third time in a short period of time, your brakes get cut off for 15 miles... (primarily for interstate driving).

Bad having to plan your travel around a damn bridge.
Perfectly sunny, clear day and they still run into each other.

I just passed it Eastbound about 20 minutes ago and it was 3 big rigs and an Explorer in the left lane heading west right smack in top of the bridge

Can someone please explain why people lose the ability to drive while they are crossing bridges?


The average daily traffic on that bridge is 105k-115k which is the highest of any one point in the state. It will natuarally have more accidents than other areas.

I was crossing eastbound yesterday and saw a wreck in the right lane westbound. They should take the guardrails off and let darwinism take place.

It's three 18-wheelers and a car.

I said it a long time ago. Make the 18-wheelers take the North Bridge only and it will clear up the clusterfrick of them trying to merge to one lane with ghetto drivers kamikaze-ing across their bow to get to Washington St. exit.

Graves and Kennedy need to get in Trump's ear about funding a loop and doing it through expropriation on national security and economic security grounds.

shite, they could probably get some greens to support it by calculating how much fricking CO2 gets pumped out due to idling traffic.

Around 4pm google maps had it at 1 hour 45 minutes to get from Siegan to Downtown using the interstate.

I made it in 35 using Burbank/Nicholson/ Mckinnly/Highland/Washington/Thomas Delpit/Europe/St Joseph
