说明
The off-ramp from I-80 westbound onto 700E northbound is very dangerous due to vehicles stopping/yielding when they are supposed to merge with 700 East traffic. Drivers have a lane, but there are no barriers between it and the other 700 E lanes. Some vehicles will stop, not knowing what to do, and cannot be seen by drivers exiting I-80 at a high rate of speed.

ear Driver,
Thank you for taking the time out of your day to contact the DOT with your concern. You commented that;

It is true that the vehicles that are exiting off I-80 WB at 700 East to go northbound do have their own lane to which they have direct access to. While this lane is there is it still advised that anytime you enter into the flow of traffic you proceed with caution. Just north of here are side streets and driveways that are accessed from 700 East and it is possible that a vehicle could merge into the 700 East "Exiting lane" to make those movements.
In addition to the other vehicles that may make unpredictable moves there is a pedestrian crosswalk across this right turn that drivers must yield to. Slowing down and assessing the situation is the desired response from drivers.
Drive safe and buckle up!
