An option is to exit onto Divisadero, but drivers are unlikely to get an opening into the Divis turn lane onto Fell. Agree with you about the inevitable obstructions with Arco where it is and configured as it is.Michael Helquisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00790571330038061382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7569046838598986140.post-74867506293232766772010-07-10T11:02:04.096-07:002010-07-10T11:02:04.096-07:00Actually, that exit on video looked pretty reasona...Actually, that exit on video looked pretty reasonable to me. The lane was only blocked for a second or 2, and if the vehicle waits back past the sidewalk for the Fell light to turn red, Fell gets blocked with cars and they never get out, really. <br /><br />The problem seems to be the location of the exit itself. It's hard to imagine the a good way for vehicles to manage it without causing a potential obstruction to *someone*. I wish that gas station would close down. The intersection is an awful one to have so much in and out traffic.Troyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15210062980135276614noreply@blogger.com
