280 Southbound Trees Need to Be Trimmed!



The video shows 280 South of the 25th street off ramp. As one
drives in the outside (slow) lane, one will come upon an on ramp
of traffic. You can't see the traffic until that traffic is
already up to speed and the driver already in the traffic lane is
obliged to slow down (often) to avoid hitting the merging traffic.
The merging traffic does not see the extant traffic and the reason
both drivers can't see the other is the grove of overgrown trees.
The trees should be pruned down to the level of the road bed and
drivers in both traffic flows (the outside lane already driving
AND the on ramp traffic) could see the other and better anticipate
the merge.
