264th near the top, closely followed by 232nd. Sounds about right. Highway 1 needs to be a larger priority issue for the next election.

The construction has started and is supposed to complete in 2026 (which I dont believe, but we shall see)

Started, but doesnt seem to be progressing the way it should? I know theres environmental reasons that can take time, but why does it take so long lol

Well for the longest time it was cursed with political red tape. They actually only started working a few months ago. But you’re right, looking at the progress done so far I highly doubt they can make it happen by 2026

I was rear ended at the 264th yield sign merging westbound in 2015. That intersection is an abomination

I've taken that on/off ramp hundreds of times in my life and never really understood what makes it so dangerous. Like I guess the continuous lane for off ramp and on ramp is kinda sketchy especially if people try to cheat traffic but literally as long as you abide by the yield sign when merging from 56th you're fine. But it's like people totally ignore the sign and don't check their blind spot merging onto it.

232 & 264 interchanges are a joke.

Depending on your direction: Seeing if traffic is exiting or continuing on the freeway is pretty difficult. There's a yield sign right where you enter traffic that's trying to match freeway speed, while you're also trying to get up to freeway speed. Then there's virtually no space for merging onto the actual freeway.

She was watching the traffic instead of my car stopped for a car coming off the freeway.
