124. oh really?

You want to compare 5 and 99? 99 is trashed starting at Bakersfield, where it looks a whole lot like Oklahomas nasty roads until you fairly quickly come onto sections being redone, a stretch here, a stretch there all the way up to who knows where, almost all of it TWO LANE joke of a freeway with the MAJORITY of truck transportation taking place right there because that is where people live, not on 5.
Nobody has the time for me to get started on all the horribly dangerous stupidly designed jokes they foist on drivers around Fresno.
As they spend ever greater sums redoing spots that arent even 15 years old because of constant wrecks, and when you see what they do to begin with, you realize its all about the come backs to widen, open entrances, so many corrections that never should have been necessary.
We dont have seismic concerns in the central valley, and not a great deal of cloverleafs and overpasses.
Really, I cant begin to describe all of the problems and failures that have nothing to do with seismic issues or camera coverage.
Disingenuous?
guess again.
Its a mess, a massive waste of funds every time they prove how bad they are at doing something right the second or third time,
and a very serious consideration in light of HSR tussles.
99 is abominable.
Dont even argue otherwise.
They may be trying to fix/improve it, but thats slooooooooow going, and not going to happen in places that is should, in the near future.
PPP.
