That’s crazy, I’d believe it. Apparently it happened around 3am and when I saw it it was around 8:45. I can only imagine how it looked hours before.

All I saw were multiple cars/suvs totaled and/or flipped. No sign of any wrecked 18 wheelers

Unless I’m picturing the wrong area, I despise this spot. When I’m coming from the 95 side to get on the boulevard exit, people with the yield sign do the opposite of yielding. I often avoid the highway for my commute because of this spot. It’s not worth the headache and anxiety.

I’m having a hard time picturing the new traffic pattern but I have seen them doing road construction on the boulevard exit for weeks now.

Who makes these kinds of design decisions? They seem like they shouldn’t be in that line of work.

It's not as terrifying as this subreddit makes it sound, this is just where all the bad/scary/crazy news and experiences tend to get concentrated- there's plenty of awesomeness to balance it out.

If you ever want somewhere to sunbathe on a nice day, check out the VMFA (Virginia Museum of Fine Arts) lawn. Sometimes there are a lot of people there but the atmosphere varies from quiet/peaceful/beautiful to busy/entertaining/beautiful. The Best Cafe inside the museum has food and drink you can take on the lawn as well, or sit on the patio, definitely not cheap but most museum cafes are at least a little overpriced.

My only word of warning: don't assume cars will stop at a pedestrian crosswalk unless they have a red light, even then you can't always trust people to stop.

Years ago my cat had a mysterious illness and the first thing the vets asked was if I burn essential oils, because they see a lot of cats come in with issues from that! Really good to know, not that I burn them, but you never know when the knowledge could help another cat owner.
