Also: 5 stars, really?
Like, I appreciate that the skyline when you head downtown is beautiful. But...honestly, how are you guys finding time between driving your car safely out of the tunnels and between lanes to appreciate that skyline?
That's a serious question. During most of the day and some evenings depending on what's happening in the city, if you try to head downtown via this tunnel you inevitability have to deal with four lanes of traffic try to merge into two, resulting in constant slowdowns made worse by the locals who suddenly slam on their breaks as soon as they enter the tunnel because...uh, I really don't know why. It's one of da 'Burgh's greatest mysteries. Then when you exit, you have about 300 feet to merge from one of your two lanes into one of four that you need - god forbid if you need the one on the far left or right and you're on the other side! Navigating traffic and avoiding being hit is a daily nightmare as I try to get to work, which is why you will never see me check into this tunnel on a daily basis even though I pass through them every day - I'm a bit busy saving my neck and keeping my car in one piece.
So, seriously, how do any of you have time to enjoy the skyline after dealing with the nightmare of trying not to hit every other driver who's ALSO trying to merge between lanes? It's a complete nightmare. NOT a five star experience at all.
Also, any reviews about the skyline conveniently ignore that lots of us use this tunnel to go in the other direction, which just repeats the merging traffic nightmare I mentioned above...and boy, I sure hope you're not one of the poor people trying to go to the airport who's gotten stuck in a line of traffic BACK TO THIS TUNNEL. The miles of traffic are not the kind of view you came here to enjoy, I'm sure.
These tunnels are a necessary evil in my book, and I never look forward to dealing with them. Enjoy your skyline - don't hit me as you do, please!
