Over the past four years, I've been recording vehicles taking the I-5 Union street freeway exit too fast. This is just a quick compilation of the crashes tha...
I don’t understand. Some people blew through the intersection when it seemed like they could have easily stopped, others spun before they left the tunnel. Is there more background on the geography and the road leading to the exit that explains wtf is going on?
This is an exit from a (iirc) 70mph underground highway to a 30mph surface road which seems to surprise people fairly often. But the exit has so many slow down signs and flashing lights, there is no excuse for the drivers.
On the other hand, this is clearly a danger to pedestrians, so something needs to be done - possibly closing the exit?
