More than the confusing yield-to-transit signage, there're crosswalks in the middle of the on-ramps anyway. You may have to come to a complete stop, let a pedestrian cross, then get up to 70 km/h in less than 50 m distance to merge into the transit lane, and another ~100 m to merge into the traffic lane. You are almost 100% guaranteed to be driving in the shoulder HOV lane—and at this time of year, kicking up rocks onto Sliver's old-man-beige Mercedes-Benz—to get up to speed to effect a merge. |
Yeah, that's brutal. I see no merge sign, though - is it really a merge? I suppose the sign that says yield to transit implies that it's not a full yield.
