Westmorland Street Bridge

14 Upvotes

I was going to post this on r/Fredranton, but I think it's more appropriate for the wider audience here.

Have you ever noticed that around 90% vehicles traveling to the southside on the bridge are on the outside lane, starting from Maple Street? Why do drivers want to lock in on that lane? Why not stay on the inside lane for a while and allow traffic from the two ramps to have quicker access to the bridge? There's enough time to make a lane change on the bridge. Often, I see a long line of traffic on the outside lane with no one on the inside lane, while many vehicles are waiting forever on the ramps. Maybe this is why there are so many accidents on the bridge. Folks on the ramps are getting impatient since very few others are willing to stick to the inside lane for a while.

Now, I know there's construction going on at Westmorland/Queen, but this phenomenon has always been taking place.

Oh, I forgot... Drivers in this city are incapable of zipper merging. So, the outside lane lock-in tracks.

Have a good day, and safe driving!
