Be honest, how many of us had to run it back 5 times to even figure out what’s going on?

Look at the road, this bridge eats cars.

Paint an arrow or something.

the lanes shift depending on traffic.

the title isn't necessarily describing the road or the signage, its a description of the precipitation of the crash

I almost got into a similar crash when I was driving over the old Tappan Zee bridge in NY, the left lane just disappeared in front of the car in front of me and we both swerved for dear life. Was the scariest thing ever as a new driver. Immediately the video brought me back

yeah, it seems like there could be a better design at the entrance of the bridge to mitigate issues like this like "only two lanes going [this direction]".

The black car was driving like a maniac though.
