Man I don’t know what it is about the fucking chestnut diamond that makes people drive like they have the SpongeBob orb of confusion turned on. I’ve had people almost hit me several times, all while the original one at the mouth of 13 on Kansas doesn’t have any perceivable issues like that. Glad you’re safe!

What is crazy us that if they just followed the person in front of them, they would have been fine. They saw everyone going the correct path and yet went against it.

It's a love/hate feeling for me when I recognize springfield on r/IdiotsInCars, cops, livepd, etc.

I had never encountered a diverging Diamond before visiting Springfield the first time. I was white-knuckling it the whole way through but at least decided to just follow the guy in front of me.

Is there something in the air around 65 that makes people lose brain cells? This diamond and the Battlefield exit are where the idiots come out in full swing.

Edit: Typo

We really need to get something positive trending for this town. I see chestnut on r/idiotsincars atleast once a month, not to mention a plethora of other dumb things we keep ending up in the news about.

Before they put up the little flexible barriers, people would come to a complete stop at the turn on to 65SB from Chestnut and would back up traffic for MILES. Still happens from time to time but not as frequently.

Also glad I don’t have to make that drive anymore.

Westbound Chucklenuts Expressway has people leaving Menards and Costco full of hardware and groceries, while Eastbound Chucklenuts is full of people leaving work. Nobody is ever in their right mind there. And that's on top of whatever they put in the water to make Springfield drivers.
