Actually, the traffic situation is way better than I thought it was going to be after the new construction.
I agree. The accident yesterday was an exception to the usual traffic flow. I thought the new merge would simply move the traffic jam a few miles down the road, but that has not been my experience at all.
At the old merge I would regularly wait 5 - 30 minutes in the afternoon to get through the merge. Now I never do. It was the traffic light in close proximity to the merge at the old location that clearly created the problem. Let's hope when the DOT installs the Shower Drive stoplight, they switch it to flashing green on the highway from 3-6 PM, and flashing red on Shower/Pohaku from 3-6 PM.
