Checkmate

When are they going to fix those On/Off ramps between Carnegie and the Ft Pitt tunnels? You are taking your liffe in to your hands trying to get on/off the parkway.

Learn the rules of the road and what a yeild sign means. The ramps are fine, it is the drivers that make the road a hazard.

I’m with you 100%. The Greentree on ramp going west is redicuously short – poorly designed because of the topography. The people who think it is ok here are probably the obnoxious self centered pig drivers who force their way regardless of road conditions. They probably also engage in aggressive driving and don’t use their turn signals as they whip in and out of lanes.

Greentree Rd ramp is fine. Unless u are old man. As far as the next exit ramp, unless you eliminate Banksville rd, it is what it is. IT IS THE DRIVERS. Not the infrastructure.

They need to put a stop to the “weave” traffic configuration. Stop putting on ramps and off ramps in the same lane so close together. People speed up to merge and end up rear ending folks slowing to exit.
