In this one, the video picks up a close call for a rider ahead.This trend hasn't been picked up by American riders, as far as...Robb Westaby, Fox 17 Traffic This trend hasn't been picked up by American riders, as far as I can tell. But some of the stuff from countries where they don't speak English are pretty hairy.
Of course, if they were ordinary, no one would bother posting them.

Street Closure
LAFAYETTE ST closed under I-196 Tuesday (9.7) 1 p.m. through Wednesday (9.7) 5 a.m.
The Fix on I-196 has moved to Phase Two:
The ramp from US-131 SOUTHBOUND to I-196 EASTBOUND, closed until November 1
Detour: Exit at PEARL ST or MARKET AVE for access to downtown Grand Rapids
The
ramp from I-196 EASTBOUND to COLLEGE AVE must be replaced. That ramp
will close, so anyone aiming to get to Spectrum Butterworth or GRCC must exit at
OTTAWA AVE
The ramp from I-196 WESTBOUND to OTTAWA AVE is closed until November 14. Exit early at COLLEGE AVE.
The ramp from IONIA AVE to I-196 EASTBOUND is closed.
The ramp from IONIA AVE to I-196 WESTBOUND is closed.
The ramp from US-131 NORTHBOUND to I-196 EASTBOUND, previously closed for four months, is now open.
Construction zone speed limits to apply
45 mph when workers are present, which will be almost all the time, including weekends
55
mph when no one is around (the 60 mph limit won't apply, because the
speed limit on this stretch of freeway has always been 55)
Weave/Merge
lanes must still be constructed. MDOT has not said there will be lane
closures, but I believe they will be unavoidable at times, which will
mean just ONE lane at times.
