That's a textbook case of bad design. For years I've been using (with plenty of opportunity) a paraphrase from those amazing feats tv shows: "Hey kids, this intersection was designed by a *PROFESSIONAL*! Don't try to do it at home!" With regard to the thread on the "Troy interstate," I believe most of the land between 6th and 8th used to be a railroad, so not that many houses were involved. There was a station somewhere around where the Holiday Inn was built, which explains why the RPI approach was built... not always a stairway to nowhere. This right of way is now a bike path in Lansingburgh. Apologies if this point has already been made. -don perley -- perley@balltown.cma.com
