    Both are grey. Looks like both were post-refresh, and the unfortunate one who crashed into the other Prius looks like they just bought their car. It didn't have a license plate yet, just running the dealer plates.

    Haven't watched the video yet, but the change was making the local news here over the weekend.

    I almost never drive over that bridge as it's over 60 miles from home and I usually have little reason to go 60 miles (one way) SF, let alone cross that bridge.

    But yeah, it sucks that the sign and exit got moved earlier. And yeah, as the article (and news stories) pointed out, if you miss that exit, it means you have to go all the way over the bridge and come back, paying a $6 or 7 toll in the process.

    That video freaked out my IE11, it warned of something trying to improperly access memory. Likely just bad code, but could be malicious.

    Bad signage can cause carnage, sad but true. ;(

    People are stupid! That area of the bridge is pretty high speed already. To think that you can stop in the middle of the road and make a turn across a couple lanes is dumb.

    Although shouldn't the guy in the Toyota truck stop and check on the accident victims being that he witnessed the whole thing? Instead he backs up and drives off! Wth??


    iPhone ?

    Caltran is allowed to make roadwork. The driver of the first Prius making the illegal right turn after illegally stopping traffic is clearly at fault, but Prius #2 should've not been an idiot and let her go. This does not give Prius drivers a good image, which only hurts good Prius drivers like you or me a bad name.
