Agreed! I travel that way every day to/from work in Downtown Hbg & agree that something needs to be done. The congestion is terrible and has led to numerous accidents.
This is a very dangerous interchange. Acouple of years ago two women were killed on PA 283 west bound when a truck plowed into their stopped car. I have seen several accidents on this stretch of PA 283 westbound. Traffic backs up because of the slow ramp to I 283 and the highway traffic moving west on PA 283 comes up too fast without realizing that traffic is stopped or slowed. Drive through this area and notice all of the skid marks on the road.
I 283 SB to PA 283 WB traffic is required to traverse two heavy merge weaves and a steep 20 MPH ramp, which leads to queues at least a mile long and aggressive driving. Multiple accidents at this location. EB to NB movement not as bad but queues can reach a mile in length.
