I have been commuting from Houston to Columbus for over 13 years. In all this time the fear of God comes across my mind as I approach Exit 698. Will I or will I not get in an accident?
Exit 698 should be renamed 'Danger Zone'! Will the drivers on the frontage road yield, or will the yield sign be ignored?
Time and time again I have had to dodge flying vehicle bullets on the frontage road at that exit near Mikeskas BBQ. Yes, there is a ‘YIELD’ clearly noticeable on the frontage road, but that just doesn’t seem to matter, or it goes unnoticed. As I have the right of way to exit off a major interstate, my defensive driving sense tells me to almost come to a stop before proceeding through the exit. Other drivers coming off I-10 have beeped their horns and flipped me off like I'm some kind of crazy person. But I am still alive to tell the rest of this story. Have you ever come face to face with an 18-wheeler?
