Descrição
This is the flyover from southbound Mopac to southbound 183. After exiting Mopac onto the flyover, there is an on-ramp from the southbound feeder road (near York Blvd) that is supposed to yield to Mopac traffic. 1 car in 20 actually yields resulting in accidents and numerous near misses. The yield sign is placed too far back and not where the feeder onramp drivers are looking. Please put up a yield sign on the left side of that on ramp as well and paint up the pavement too. Last accident there was approx one month ago.

I think the general rule is not universal and in this case should be overridden. But increasing the length of the merge and lowering the concrete barrier would help. However, if this is unworkable, the traffic in the left track should slow down and probably should yield.,
It is my experience trying to negotiate this merge in a small car that the person in the inner track thinks I am being a jerk for failing to yield (as the original posting indicates) and I think they are going much too fast for conditions and their presence is completely unexpected. I once had occasion to do this in an SUV and was amazed at how much safer it was.
This is a horrible failure of engineering. It should be noted as such by TXDoT but I have no idea how to communicate with them. Somebody will die there some day.
