I always had a theory that the I35 double-decker express lanes HAD to be designed by aggy.
They might be structurally sound. But its idiotically flawed...
First, they chose the wrong (slow lanes) lanes to make into the express lanes.
So anyone in the right lane expecting to be able to exit has to suddenly cross two lanes of traffic to get on the lower deck. And anyone in the fast lane would have to cross two lanes of traffic to get onto the upper deck and avoid the snarl of the lower deck...
So dumb. Anyone with a lick of common sense would have made the fast lanes into the express lanes.
Also, did they even add any lanes? Its just 4 lanes still, and there's room for another on the upper deck.
Seems like the project was what they call a self-licking ice cream cone in the Army.
It served no purpose at all, except to cost taxpayers a lot of money.
