There are lots of things wrong with Knight St. in general.
So many drivers can't stay in their own lanes when it is straight, and they throw that curve in around 56th Ave. plus not being able to see the light is very unsafe. I've seen big rigs lock it up and the back of their load starts coming around.
True about people not able to keep in their own lane. But it is really safe if people driver SLOWER and NO PARKING on knight st would help
Left turners going up and down the hill are going to get into accidents over and over again. They have to cross 3 lanes, traffic moves at different speeds on all lanes, the first two lanes will stop and then somebody t-bones them in the 3rd lane. And when going down the hill, people signal and brake too late and causes a huge accordion affect.
now that is the main cause of almost all accident on the hill......left turners. They should out right ban left turn from 57th to bridge and vic versa.
[qoute]The bridge deck is uneven and in the winter months gets potholes at the base of the hill. Stay on the left lane and towards the barrier for the smoothest route. Not much can be done about that because the individual slabs are designed for expansion and contraction.[/quote]
that won't make a normal vehicle to lost control. Only those with worn suspension will loose it and wreck...which they should be off the road to begin with.
After the bridge, in Richmond, after the Bridgeport exit, try to stay in the right lane. Lots of puddles after heavy rain can cause hydroplaning. Pay careful attention and you can see where the barrier has taken a few hits, and it's always right after the puddle spots.
good point.....wouldn't surprise if motorist sue fed gov't for not maintaining the hwy after crash.
