Mowgli1647545497 Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 I'd like it known for the record that having just endured a real east/west-coast traffic morning, an utterly inexplicable car and truck based conflagration, an inexcusable gridlock in "all-the-room-you'll-ever-need" Ohio, that I feel recompense is in order. Therefore I am petitioning for I-71 to be dug up and the concrete shipped out to the Sea of Japan and dumped, the dumptrucks and pavement machines used in its construction to be detonated using an especially invective solution of nitroglycerin, and the route planners for that ribbon of asphalt pergatory to be summarily shot with rubber shotgun slugs. Furthermore, all drivers who've been forced to inflict some of the torture that is commuting on I-71 upon themselves be given free helicopter rides to work for the foreseeable future. That is all.

Mensan Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 How bad was it? Since coming to Ohio I have nev er experienced anything CLOSE to the East Coast days, so I'd like to hear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pg Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Yeah, that is really bad traffic, I feel for you, Polaris at five is also hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Pomade Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Originally posted by Mensan: How bad was it? It was annoying, but that commute (71 south bound from Polaris) is always annoying, even without the multiple fender-benders that happened this morning. I haven't ever driven on either coast, so I don't have that much basis of comparison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractor Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 2 winters ago was the worse I've seen since I moved up here. I was frequently stuck in traffic on my way to and from work for more than 2 hours. The same trip takes 10 to 15 minutes with light traffic.

Guest jpurdy2003 Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 You all have never seen the Inner Belt and Dead Man's Curve in Cleveland during rush hour, have you? 35-MPH, 90-degree curve on a 60-MPH, 4-lane interstate = the lose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As we were approaching it, I was all like "WTF Mate?" I've never seen a turn like that on a highway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1TrueSS Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 Try doing that shit in a semi, with 10 gears! Not very fun, but I tell you what, they get out of my way if I really want them too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mowgli1647545497 Posted December 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 315south used to have a curve like that back in the 80s Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black00ws6 Posted December 17, 2004 Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 Originally posted by Mowgli: 315south used to have a curve like that back in the 80s Are you talking of the one that had the merge from Grandview? Where they had to stop at 315 and just hammer it when you had room to get on?? That used to be a damn nightmare. If I leave the gym around 5:30, it takes me about 45 mins to get from Easton to north hamilton road (about 2 miles). I'm really starting to dislike the holidays in my older age.

Wasn't much left after he hit the divider head-on at 80+mph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
