Billboard at toll plaza too bright, drivers complain

Read ArticleArticle Source: The San Francisco Chronicle

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.

Comment on this

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.
