No mention of I-90 in Cleveland?  If I remember correctly, it's known as "Dead Man's Curve" and has a 35 MPH speed limit on it.

It's not THAT bad...Besides, for most PM rush hours, I-90 WB is backed up before DMC, so crawling around the curve makes it a moot point.

More often than not, there is not a week goes by without at least ONE semi driver in each direction that goes too fast and winds up jackknifed and/or on its side wreaking havoc.   :no:

Wow, truck crashss happen that often at DMC? I havent been up there in awhile but IIRC there is plenty of signage, flashing lights(?) and rumble strips(?)
I retired from truck driving in 2009 after 20 yrs and the quality of truck drivers in the last ten years has seriously declined.
20 yrs ago I trusted truck drivers to drive safely and was wary of cars, 10 yrs ago I'm wary of both (sad sad).
BUY AMERICAN MADE.
SPEED SAFELY.
