Overview
We improved the Northeast 30th and Northeast 44th streets on-ramps to northbound I-5 to reduce traffic backups onto city streets.
Improves safety
By metering all vehicles except transit on the Northeast 30th Avenue ramp, traffic is less likely to bunch up while merging onto northbound I-405, reducing dangerous driving maneuvers and the potential for collisions. Increasing the amount of cars that can wait on the ramp also reduces the potential for traffic backups on Northeast 30th and Northeast 44th streets, reducing the risk of collisions.
