This section of the road where this weave is was not designed for it.
Modern freeway design no longer has that kind of stupidity in it. We took a road that was designed to insanely high standards in terms of exit speeds and exit spacings. A true modern highway and then at the last minute put in a weave that would have never made it past the first design review.
Look at how the deerfot Stoney intersection is designed and how they restricted neighborhood access to avoid this same scenario limiting east bound access into Cranston. That is proper design.
