I drove through this today, and wow - apparently they need more signs, because this was a disaster to watch.  It didn't seem hard to me, but apparently this was quite difficult for a number of people who were really struggling.

On the positive side, the Monroe Street exit is back open.

I was taken by total surprise that all of a sudden the new roadway's are open. It didn't help that it was pouring rain and people were really confused and seemed lost. I agree, it's an accident waiting to happen!

What's really amazing is watching these idiots from out of town drive like bats out of hell.  Everyday I see cars get stuck between lanes who were intending to go I-95 south and were in the I-10 lanes.  They fly around me and I just say to myself, "I know they don't know were they are going.", sure enough there they are stuck trying to get over to the right lane.

For the longest time, the morons had blacked out the part of those huge signs that let people know which was north or south 95...so the out of towners wouldn't know! To be honest though, most of the idiots screwing up traffic are the locals that want to wait until last minute to move into the right lanes...I see it every day going to and from work...and the worst are the ones heading to work.
