Just sent a note to NYC DOT Commissioner. DOT-646556-R7W This HHP / Route 9A Northbound Exit 12 exit ramp is two lanes wide. Why does a road posted at 50mph require an exit ramp that is two lanes wide? One can only make the turn onto the exit ramp from one lane so we have a case of parts of one lane expanding to two lanes. Seems very wasteful.

Neglected to ask if this ramp is #MUTCD compliant. Will find out myself. If unsatisfactory answer this becomes FOIA request.
