Plus, more clarification on the rules for double yellow lines.
I haven’t driven in the vicinity of the interchange from southbound Interstate 280 to southbound 880 since it was re-engineered, so I don’t remember the exact placement of a sign saying “Weave.” Do your Caltrans contacts know the history of that sign’s usage around the state?
“Weave” seems like very pragmatic guidance if you accept that accommodating some access onto a freeway must ultimately be a cooperative maneuver. I always read a “weave” sign as an instruction to alternate. Even if it wasn’t clear to all drivers exactly what Caltrans meant by it, it served as a subtle reminder about the social contract that, hopefully, extends to manners on the road.The signs were put up back in the 1970s at the 880-101 interchange in San Jose. The interchange was a really tight and full cloverleaf.
Traffic engineer M.E. Hardin came up with the idea to have the “weave” signs to get people’s attention and reduce the number of cars running into each other. The signs were placed at the off-ramps and on-ramps. They showed lane markers and read “Weave.” They were up for quite a while, but were never made permanent anywhere.
Would Caltrans consider adding the date it actually will be enforced, or change the message to: “55 mph is being enforced”?The speed limit is 65 mph, but in most construction zones, it is 55 mph. I understand your point, though, about how posting a speed limit does not mean it is being regularly enforced there, or adhered to by drivers.
