I-35 / I-240 Exchange

[Just the facts]

Is it just me or does this not solve the primary problem - Eastbound 240 merging with the westbound 240 cloverleaf to get on 35 South.

I think that since the WB to SB traffic merge onto 35 first and then EB 240 and Shields merge further down or become their own lane that is supposed help with that congestion.

I think that is going to make it worse because it increases the merge distance, which seems counter-intuitive. We just did that in Jacksonville and traffic along that segment instantly became much worse. Oh well, I don't drive this route anyhow.

Okay, Kerry, at least I'm not the only one who sees/saw this, or at least wonders about it. I may have to go to this design meeting myself
