Bad Highway Design

One of the things I notice during my daily workday commute is how horrible of an exchange 101 South to 85 South has become since they "improved" it. The 101 is mainly a 4 lane highway and briefly becomes a 6-lane highway for the purpose of the exchange. Lane 5 is an 101 to 85 South exit-only lane, and Lane 6 is the 101 S on ramp from Shoreline which if you stay in will take you onto the 85 S. So it's usually here that one witnesses all sorts of automobile acrobatics (and accidents) as cars try to get onto the 101 and away from 85 or off the 85 and onto 101. Now, all of this wouldn't be too bad if there was decent distances to perform these lane changes, but I'd say there's a little less than 100 feet to do these things in.
