Monday Open Thread

by Carl Ballard — Monday, 10/6/25, 8:13 am

Look who’s back. Anyway…

Before the Viaduct was closed, there was an off ramp that I always said was the place I would die. Cars would not slow down enough for city traffic, let alone pedestrians. But in the shadow of the former Viaduct, there is a new place where I think I am going to die.

Specifically people taking an illegal right turn to the Coleman Dock. Between infrastructure clearly meant to indicate don’t turn and 2 signs, you have to be the worst kind of asshole driver to do it. And yet, all the damn time. I have seen so many close calls.

I don’t know if there’s a fix with infrastructure keeping people better separated from cars. Or cameras. Or emphasis patrols. But damn, it needs something.

And just to be clear: This isn’t a cars versus bikes and pedestrians thing. Most cars follow the signs and get there with the lights. People making the illegal right turn are cutting in line in front of them, as well as being dangerous.
