Gotta Get Over Now!

Another Close One

For the second time in less than a week, a car almost drove off the merging where the I-215 to I-15 interchange goes from 3 lanes to 2. This one wanted to pass a semi quite badly and was either not paying attention to the merging, or just didn’t go fast enough. In any case, he was forced to slam on his brakes and narrowly avoided going into the median.
The best part – right after getting to I-15, he hopped across all lanes of traffic to get into the far left lane.

Almost Off the Road

The interchange from I-215 to I-15 has recently been modified to extend the amount of room that there are 3 lanes available. Unfortunately, the interchange still goes down to two lanes right before merging with I-15. This 3-to-2 lane merging has been problematic, and many cars in the left lane tend to wait until the very last minute to merge over once the left lane ends.
I was driving in the middle lane. The guy next to me decided that he was going to wait until the last possible minute to move over, and almost ran himself off of the road. When he finally cut over, it was without signal and he almost clipped the front of my car.
You can see the lines end between the middle and left lanes, and then he continues speeding up on my left side. It doesn’t look as close from the dashcam in the middle of my windshield, but it was a close thing.
