This seems to make sense in theory, I kinda assume the 85 eastbound -> 8 South carries more traffic than the King St. merge, but I don't know for sure.

But there are some possible caveats, King St. traffic is accelerating from a traffic light, that might make the merge a bit more problematic.  But I think the distance, plus the limited traffic means it should be no problem.

I suspect it's probably a better design...I wonder if/why it was/wasn't considered, and why it isn't used.
