I find navigating the area easier during rush hour because the cars are backed up trying to get onto the bridge. The problem is when motor traffic is lighter and moving quickly and the traffic cops aren't around - it's a free-for-all. That's when traffic is hairy.
I'm positive the DOT is aware that the current design is brain-dead, they just lack the gumption to rectify it.
