You can see some of the work happening behind me where they are removing the left hand turn lanes and they have been redirecting traffic and they seem to be moving quickly which means this is a moving target for drivers. Shortterm there will be confusion and bus riders will have to look for relocated stops. What does an uber driver wish for. The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency will be reducing van ness avenue from three lanes in both directions to two starting on monday. Eventually the center lanes will be designated bus only. The buses definitely get in the way. Especially if they dont pull all the way in and they have their tail hanging out, thats problematic to get around. The rendering show what the project will look like when completed. It is similar to the muni trains on third street. The result should mean a time savings of about 15 minutes. This weekend left turns on van ness will be removed at all but three intersections. I just feel like it is going to causeway too much traffic. People already drive crazy in the city and i feel like it is total chaos.

Once you make it through the toll plaza you have to make it through the metering lights. Dan we want to know why certain drivers have an advantage on the morning traffic. Ask any commuter and they will tell you how much they hate the metering lights. They are the cause of the traffic. If they let it go plum free it will be fine. Sometimes it can make things worse. I believe thisy are very, very poorly run, and they really cause a lot of congestion. Reporter but are they . You can see what happens. The cars come through as many as 16 lanes at the toll plaza. That narrows to 12 and then five across the bridge. We wanted to know how much time the metering lights may be costing drivers. We use sky 7 to find out. We conducted our own time challenge with two abc news cars. The car are the red seven took the lanes. We have our cash lane car approaching the toll booth right now. Despite the stop and go traffic the red car made it from the toll plaza to the metering lights. The cash lane took four times as long and 11 minutes. The metering lights cycle faster for the fast rack only lanes. John goodwin is with the metropolitan Transportation Commission and he says fast track drivers are given an advantage. Merge lanes and faster metering lights. We need to increase the through put and make the whole operation efficient for cash payers and the fast track customers.

Traffic Management Center keeps close tabs on the bay areas roadways. When traffic increases on the bay bridge they turn on the metering lights manually. All we do is we punch in the metering light and hit the send button and it will start to cycle. Jay it is pretty low tech. The mtc and cal drains are working on a 7 million upgrade on the metering lights. When complete traffic will move more smoothly on the bridge. Thisy will take advantage of the latest Smart Metering technology. Sensors embedded in the onramp talk to sensors on the highway. They keep traffic moving. It is hard to think on the bay bridge toll plaza as an onramp. The idea is to take proven technologies to meter traffic flow on the existing onramps. Just make it big and put it out there on the bay bridge toll plaza. Reporter they hope to complete the upgrades by next year. Alexis smith abc7 news.
