Alaska Way is three levels. The bottom level of that three-level roadway has local access and even on-street parking. The upper two levels are the same except without parking and all lanes go one way. Cross streets merely point you in the correct direction like the cutoffs on the intersection I mentioned. Speeds and traffic patterns on all three decks are more consistent with expressways and the adjoining International Way than they are with an exclusively limited-access freeway. Have you actually been on this viaduct or are you going from what you heard on the Internet on this? I really suggest you focus more on the territory you've actually covered in person.
