Motorists leaving the Bay Bridge going to the East Bay at night recently may have been reminded of the '70s tune "Blinded by the Light."
Greeting them -- just as they headed for an already confounding (and disabled) freeway interchange -- has been the bright glare of a 50-foot illuminated billboard gone haywire on the south side of eastbound Interstate 80.
This intersection of freeways is confusing enough. I haven't personally seen this billboard in action, but I can imagine what it might do to those unfamiliar with the area. Yet another reason to take BART.
