Stripe This 12.19.2007 | 0 Comment(s)

The re-striping of Highway 44 caused much confusion this morning at the 44/55 split around Lafayette Square. Traffic was backed up to about Jefferson as lanes on the highway seemed to disappear and merge without much warning. Cars from all lanes were forced to make evasive maneuvers since the lane they were in no longer carried them to their desired exit.

Maybe people just need time to get used to the new configuration of lanes, but with the old stripes still visible on the road and the new ones only sort of visible, I think a dangerous situation is brewing on 44 in the City.
