@CaltransDist3 @CaltransHQ The lane striping on the #CapitalCityFreeway #AmericanRiver Bridge project is creating “phantom lanes” during construction. Faded striping & sunlight glare make it difficult to see the correct lanes, posing serious safety risks for motorists.

Dashcam footage from today: The lane striping on #Biz80 remains a serious #safety concern. Westbound is even worse, especially when there’s glare, as confusing “phantom lanes” make it difficult to see where to drive. #Sacramento
