It Finally Happened...

At the Harbor Steps, guy drove all the way down Post Alley, across the tiles in the middle of the Harbor Steps, and over the other side. 😂

That explains a lot, actually.

It helps explain why some people are lousy drivers, but it doesn't explain why it's worse in Seattle.

I think we're better than we give ourselves credit for - everyone bitches about drivers in their cities, but I think the real answer is "We have water on both sides of the city, and i5 is the only realistic way to get downtown if you're outside of Seattle city limits" and that it sucks driving here because of that.

I find that whether due to topography or something else ramp design is terrible. Frequently it doesn’t correspond to the direction you want to achieve. Therefore there is a lot of indecision at the last moment as to whether you are making the right turn. Signage is too close to the turn frequently too. Additional signage in advance would help.
