What I'd like to know is: what kind of an intersection is the Shoreline/101/85/Moffett/Old Middlefield Way beast in Mountain View:<p><a href="http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=37.40942,-122.072332&z=16" rel="nofollow">http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=37.40942,-122.072332&z=16</a><p>Shoreline/101 is a ParClo, and Moffett/101 is a Butt, but what's the 101/85 interchange, let alone the whole configuration where the offramp for Moffett becomes the onramp for Shoreline and merges with the offramp for 85, while another branch of the 85 offramp merges into the feeder for Old Middlefield Way and weaves across to merge into 101. Never mind the opposite direction from Shoreline, where you need to be in <i>left</i> lane to get on 85 (which is a hard right turn), while you need to be in the <i>right</i> lane to get on 101 (which is immediately to your left).
reminds me of kamikaze curve, on the way to Binghamton in NY state
