Which drunk politician designed this


The same ones that are putting in all the roundabouts but making them about 3x too small to actually be effective

You do realize that when the interchange was designed and subsequently completed in 1969, there wasn't the traffic demands that we face now.
It wouldn’t matter if the daily traffic count was 24 vehicles, the geometry and theory of those I-12 interchanges at I-55 and I-10 were functionally obsolete when they were designed and built.

The LDH was terrible in 1960s, unless you were on the inside.

Then it was wonderful. (Other than having to use the roads)

Inefficient, but not especially unsafe anymore now that the Washington Street exit is gone.

and not having a 4 cylinder.


Pretty simple in a 4 cyl.

Step1: down shift.
Step2: step on gas.

This isn't even the biggest concern. How about the 18 wheeler/ cars who have to exit while merging into you.



Never spent time in Norfolk, did you?
