General Road and Highway Discussion

[SF22]

Going north, the part where it narrows and immediately re-widens just before the Bridgeport exit is just really weird. Maybe that's bad?

In general, I don’t think freeways should be expanded. But this freeway has a weird situation where 4 lanes go down to 2 suddenly, and I think it makes sense to have a 3 lane section as far as Bridgeport to smooth out the transition.

According to Google Maps, it's 700m between where the 3rd lane ends and the Bridgeport off-ramp starts. Feels like adding that third lane for 700m could do a LOT to help with congestion (I say, as someone who drives through this bottleneck everyday). Lord knows that no one knows how to successfully zipper merge to keep traffic flowing at a decent rate.
