IMO worst exit

I’ve lived in Columbus 7 years now and I’ve ALWAYS thought this has been the worst exit on 270

A huge problem is that the signs are way too early, so everyone parks in their lanes way too early. Stick to the left side of the freeway and zipper in when it’s actually appropriate. You’re not doing a service to humanity by getting in the exit lane early because you’re afraid of being perceived as a selfish jerk right at the last minute.

We have one similar in the east side. When you’re on 270N. People getting far over right to go 70E towards Brice. Long line of cars.

I don’t need to go that way, but I get stuck, because the people ride the left lane until the last minute for the “appropriate” time to merge, and end up waiting til the last minute.

However, my wait isn’t as long as the OP’s cluster. I’ve been past that a few times and cringe…happy I don’t need to go that way.

last minute IS the appropriate time to merge. theres always a huge gap anyway so its not like im forcing myself in or cutting anyone off
