@ClearedHot_AM @Gwaza_Victoria It’s from Boston Legal, a 2006 episode called “The Nutcrackers”. This was five years before Robert California, if you know him from the office.

@NEWSGUYSULLY @KIRONewsradio This sign should be used. But it’s not required since 18 isn’t an interstate.

Funny enough, WSDOT has installed numerous “white on green” down arrows over option lanes since they were disallowed in 2009. But up arrows are apparently a luxury. So they just stopped signing them.

@NEWSGUYSULLY @KIRONewsradio I’m not sure what your newscast will be about. But the MUTCD doesn’t allow for advance signing of option lanes without using “overhead arrow per lane” signs. Unfortunately WSDOT rarely uses them, and only at interstate to interstate interchanges (like 5/705 and 5/205).

@NEWSGUYSULLY @wsdot_traffic Interesting how all of the traffic cams at 85th are turned off. Have they always been turned off/since construction?

@_Actionback_ @ByERussell That’s a SeaTac issue, not the airlines.

@CuriosACStewart @WSDOT_East @wsdot @wspd6pio With you, drivers must follow pilot cars. But it’s not entirely obvious, at least from WSDOT photos, what is going on. And those one in a hundred who don’t know what’s going on might try and pass when they shouldn’t. WSDOT shouldn’t assume drivers will follow an orderly line.

[🌊🇯🇵 @jakeroot]

@landaire @billybaroo1989 @WSDOT_East @wsdot @wspd6pio Completely agree. A lot of drivers, for better or worse, are just trying to get from A to B as fast as possible. Better just to not allow them to pass at all.

[🌊🇯🇵 @jakeroot]

@landaire @billybaroo1989 @WSDOT_East @wsdot @wspd6pio Maybe, but other drivers wouldn’t count as workers for the purpose of applying that subsections.

Best thing would be to just close the lane and avoid the issue entirely.

[🌊🇯🇵 @jakeroot]

@DavidInPuyallup @WSDOT_East @wsdot @wspd6pio That RCW makes zero mention of overtaking or passing. Section (4) could be used to implicate a driver overtaking another, but that’s still only a maybe. The best thing would be to prevent it entirely by closing the lane.

[🌊🇯🇵 @jakeroot]

@billybaroo1989 @WSDOT_East @wsdot @wspd6pio That’s real nice, especially when I’m only trying to help. Drivers don’t care about being “rude”, they need to close the lane before someone gets hurt.

[🌊🇯🇵 @jakeroot]

@NEWSGUYSULLY @WSDOT_East @wsdot @wspd6pio WSDOT’s post doesn’t say anything about passing a pilot car. It implies (poorly) that drivers are passing each other within the line behind the pilot car. Yeah, it’s rude, but an open lane is likely to be used by some drivers to pass other drivers. As we can see in the photos.

[🌊🇯🇵 @jakeroot]

@NEWSGUYSULLY @WSDOT_East @wsdot @wspd6pio Sully, I’ve been a big fan of yours for a long time. Great journalism. So maybe you can ask WSDOT why they haven’t closed the lane. That’s a huge miss on their part. They’re creating needless hazards.

[🌊🇯🇵 @jakeroot]

@WSDOT_East @wsdot @wspd6pio RCW 46.61.527 does not say anything about passing in a work zone. If you don’t want traffic to use a very apparently open lane, you need to close it.

I’ll stand corrected if you closed the lane and it s not apparent from your photos.
