Carmageddon, Day 5

Today, on the WSDOT traffic map, I actually saw two little red squares right under the I-5 construction area, indicating heavy traffic.

Traffic map showing a little traffic on I-5, just south of I-90.

Two! That's like, what, a half mile of slower than normal traffic? Gasp!

Yeah, it's been a pretty normal commuting week. By the looks of it, it will stay that way throughout this project.

So they narrowed I-5 down to two lanes northbound... Big deal, it's always narrowed down to 2 lanes, that's all there is once you pass the Seneca Street exit.

Apparently the geniuses who designed it figure everyone exits downtown, and nobody drives north of there.

I sure wish they'd fix that mess...
