- New Seattle Tunnel Opening Day Drive 02/04/2019
There's a snow storm today. Traffic is very light. I get to drive though it and you're invited to come along for the ride.
The video starts with me driving the center lane. The right lane is bus only or right turns. All of the sudden the left lane becomes an exit and the center lane becomes the left lane. I have a vehicle behind me in the right lane who just got on the road at the tunnel entrance and that person is hovering behind me in the right lane preventing me from getting over to the right, don't want to cut that person off, and slowly begins to move forward to pass. I am in the left lane due to the design of the road. I started in the right lane. I then consider exiting to the left at the end of the tunnel to get materials at Home Depot but decide to do it later. The only other two cars in sight pass me just after that point. After the video ends, I move to the center lane again where I originally started the video. Don't believe me, watch the video again. Events happen exactly as I say they do. Why driving under the speedlimit, remember it's icy conditions.

“Speed limit is 45.... I’m just gonna go 40”
In the passing lane ! Even better!
Yeah, what a douche-bag!

CITAP1 there’s no ice in that tunnel.
I drove it the same day.
Left lane is for passing.
Just because the road changes doesn’t mean you can’t. Lots of roads change. If your lane turns into an exit only lane do you just stay in the lane? No.
Learn how to change lanes.
You can even speed up to change lanes and get out of the way!
If people are passing you on the right, it’s because you’re blocking the left lane, impeding traffic, and believe me, they are annoyed.
The fact that there’s several comments telling you to get out of the passing lane should be a clue that your driving is ignorant and/or selfish.
Please listen to what people are trying to tell you.
Actually let me put it much more simply for you.
Washington State Law
RCW 46.61.100
Keep right except when passing.
There’s more details on specifics.
Feel free to read up on it.
@@pacifictrash8993 You don't know what's on the road ahead till you drive it. Conditions were icy till proven otherwise. Think what you want.
These types of drivers either
a) cause accidents because they impede the flow of traffic while filming with their phone while driving
b) do the above and narrate too
c) do all of the above and then post to RUclips and get butt hurt when viewers comment about his absurdity.
I was going to say there wasn't much traffic. But then HE had the balls to complain about people coming up behind him. Yeah. Dude. GET OUUT OF THE LEFT LANE!
Left lane is for passing
Totally agree and normally I'm right lane unless passing or there is constant slow people in the right and I speed up to blend in the left lane. I drive to blend in with the flow. Today the entire tunnel had 4 cars in it, just not a big deal and we were all doing about the same.
@Barry White How many cars did you see? The roadways were empty! Who am I blocking?
@@sirronkcuhcYou said in your own words "I got people speeding up behind me already. Just take a chill pill, people. I'm absorbing the tunnel" as you block the passing lane while admittedly going under the speed limit like an ass
I don't know why that tagged you @iwolffy. I deleted the tag. That wasn't meant to be directed at you

Look at the video. There's one car in front, 2 way behind. The road is totally wide open.

@@CITAP1 You've copied and pasted this reply to dozens of other commenters, all who agree with me. I understand conditions weren't ideal and there was not much traffic. Sure, it may not have been as much of a problem being in the left lane as it could be on some days. You have only given excuses for why you think being in the left lane was not a serious problem. But you still haven't given any reason as to why you SHOULDN'T have been in the right lane. And if you don't think there was any opportunity to change lanes throughout the whole video because of the car behind you, or you think you wouldn't have had time to get back over for your exit for Home Depot, then your driving skills are not perfected enough for you to be driving on public roads yet.
@@dillonyank862
If there was traffic to speak of, I would have driven appropriately for the situation. Not saying what I was doing was right, I will say it didn't matter, nobody was there. The only reason you know there were vehicles behind me is bacause I made the comment. Those vehicles were far behind. If you're willing to believe things I said on the fly in the video on items you never actually saw, you should have no problem considering my explanations regarding those things you never saw. On a note of humor, I added the chill pill and absorbing comments. Had I not said those comments, they would have never entered your mind. Had I not mentioned anything about speed, it would have never entered your mind either. Take it or leave it. Judging by what I see other drivers do on a daily basis in much worse traffic, I suspect many of the biggest complainers are probably guilty of doing what I'm being chastised for much more often than I.
There is no reason for you to be in the left lane for a single second of this video....

@@dholli2 4AM, no vehicles, OK Mr/Ms Perfect, explain how an accident will happen in those conditions? People behind me was people waaaaay behind me.
@@CITAP1 they were way behind you until they weren't anymore and passing you on the right.
@@dholli2 The two vehicles behind me didn't catch up till I was out of the tunnel and passed the left turn which I decided not to take to Home Depot at the last moment and continued straight. I wanted to be in the left lane for that exit anyway. After the video cuts out, I move right. You people are making all kinds of assumptions from overactive imaginations. I'm narrating what I see in the tunnel on the fly trying to describe things, I say a couple words everyone seems to focus on and pay no attention to the rest of the details. That's fine, I deal with different people all the time and they all have their little hot points. I agree, people should drive to the right but that isn't always the case. There can be a lot of slow cars and a lot of faster cars. Some faster cars want to go faster than other fast cars and that causes problems too when less fast cars don't want to get right because it's going to hold them up by slower cars. People screw the roads with their individual specialness. In the circumstance I was in, nobody was effected. Nobody! Different conditions, I'd do what's appropriate at the time right or left lane depending on traffic and so would you, maybe...

That is an excuse. The lane to the left is not for travel you had more than enough time to get over and back I am sorry you have to make excuses for not following traffic. Seems like quite a few people below agree, including the listed law.
@@DriveOnGuard Go home bro, Do you drive the tunnel? Do you know what the fuck is going on? I think not. Left lane becomes an exit, as he said....obviously you didnt watch the video. In Seattle, if you need the lane, you better fucking take it way before you get there, otherwise your taking 3 or more exits and side streets adding an hour to your commute if you miss it.
Holding the phone while driving is illegal in Washington state.
Thanks Cave Beast. I didn't want to be too picky but that too.
Typical Seattle driver. Driving slow in the left lane......Christ
Yeah, what a douche-bag!
Wonder if it’s a Prius?
Haha! I was just going to post that.
Christopher Schrom I live in Michigan and I know about WA bad drivers. Especially left lane Prius.

@@CITAP1 Repost this comment and pin it
Dude... why are you in the No.1(passing) lane, and doing under the limit? WTF? Get in the right lane, is getting passed on the right not enough of a sign to get over?
Since things are a little different in Washington, the Number One Lane in WADOT jargon is the right or "outside" lane -- moving right to left. Since the number of lanes vary on freeways, I guess that would make sense. Still no excuse for driving slow in the fast lane and whining about it.

Are you familiar with the “no handheld devices” rule at all, which applies to all drivers? Can I report this video to the authorities?
That's why they make passengers to hold the camera steady and in position for narration.

Dude the left lane is for passing, not driving 40 miles per hr. when the speed limit is clearly 45. Geez!!
That tunnel was pretty cool , thanks for showing us !! 😊
My pleasure!
You should've moved over to the right. Going slow in the fast lane tsk tsk...
Your response will be a literal copy and paste of your description so don't bother.
The response is, look at the road, there's nobody there. Obviously you spent time reading through a few comments. I appreciate that. Last night driving Alaska Way, I could see traffic was backed up half a mile before the Northbound tunnel entrance. That means 2,5 miles traffic backed up through the tunnel.
@@CITAP1 Stupid fucking response. Get the fuck off the road.
Its a shame you have never read your drivers manual. All slower vehicles are to keep to the right. Be considerate instead of selfish!
If you are going to go slower than the posted speed....get into the right hand lane...
Nice video but did you ever wonder what that right lane is for.
I got to walk down the hole that big bar the drilled about 2 years ago. Back then it was just a round tube its awesome to see it finished
Get out of the damn left lane if you're not passing/driving at a higher rate of speed! 5 below? Wow
Hmm, I wonder if he got the message from the torrent of comments that he should be in the right lane.. nah, I'll just add another one to be sure
I just walked the length of that tunnel 48 hours ago and it's weird to see snow all over the entrance and exits. I hope my 4 hours of GoPro video I took is usable. I forgot my stabilizers. It was a very entertaining 2 mile walk and bus ride back. I even walked the old battery street tunnel and half of the viaduct twice. Thanks for making the video of what the drive would look like.
I have it on GOPRO too. Got to edit it down with stuck busses, cars, and snow. Take care.
They are naming it The Nostril. This summer tolls start and everybody will pay through the nose.
That's funny.

@@StrictlyAwesome
All those poor cars you see in the left lane, oh wait, there aren't any...
@@StrictlyAwesome
Common practice and most state laws on United States highways is that the left lane is reserved for passing and faster moving traffic, and that traffic using the left lane must yield to traffic wishing to overtake.
I and my concrete crew poured the co Crete in that tunnel .
Factoid. There is enough concrete placed that you if you lined the trucks concrete trucks nose to bumper you could reach Eugene Oregon from British Columbia.
You are to be commended on your quality of work. Many aspects of construction done in this tunnel, make it a Marvel of Engineering.
I know it would cost more, but why weren't shoulders built on both sides? If a car stalls or runs out of gas, a gigantic traffic jam will result.

I think there should be nothing but cool tunnels everywhere!
You're getting constantly passed on the right but stay in the left lane, under the limit, while filming? If you're driving there's going to be a lot of traffic backed up behind you
Constantly Passed? 1 car that got on at the tunnel entrance in the right lane and stayed just behind me on the right half way through the tunnel. The other cars at the end were never in the tunnel, they had just gotten on at the stadiums in the right lane on ramp. I was never in anyone's way, in fact, I was out of peoples way by being left. I originally planned to exit left to Home Depot but decided against it instead going to the jobsite and getting things started there.

1: get off your damn phone! Use a mount or something
2: GET OUTTA THE LEFT LANE
"Take a chill pill people" do that in the right lane dammit!
One can foresee many traffic jam days ahead
The tunnel northbound will become a parking lot where it comes out and vehicles are trying to exit to Mercer and others trying to get on front Denny Way. It will unquestionably backup possibly the entire length of the tunnel with two of the city's biggest traffic conflict points working together. The old Battery Street Tunnel should immediately be fast tracked to become a crosstown speedway. It's already there and paid for, just needs the road connections.
@@CITAP1 I would tend to agree with you on the Battery tunnel. Use it for relief. They may also have to think about future short access relief tunnels to downtown as well. But one thing is for sure, traffic jams will be a thing.
Thanks man from Toronto Ontario Canada 🇨🇦
I'm from Boston. Enjoy the cleanliness of the tunnel now. In 6 months the walls will be covered in soot.
I haven't driven through the tunnel since the tolls started but I think they shut the tunnels down monthly and clean everything. Since this video, there has been one instance of tagging which was cleaned up. Don't know now. There was an issue that came up, the tunnel is below the level of Puget Sound and is supposed to be water tight. It is perhaps 100 yards from the water for 1/4 mile then slowly moves inland. They discovered a leak into the tunnel. The story dropped from the news. Friday, we have a huge high level west Seattle freeway bridge they have shut down indefinitely due to cracks being discovered in the concrete. If it needs significant work, it could easily run a billion dollars. Just another day here in Seatroit. take care. How's the Big Dig holding up. The wife used to work for an engineering firm that worked on that project.
@@CITAP1 We had a period where water was shooting through the walls and people were afraid to use the tunnel because they thought the walls would collapse. The had to get engineers to go on TV and say that the tunnels was safe. It took a while but people got over it. Now the tunnel is just a s congested as the highway it replaced. The walls are covered in soot and they did clean the walls only to find it was too expensive to clean the walls every month so they do it once a year.
Thanks for the ride.
Who will be the first to run out of gas in the tunnel?
So you are worried about doing the speed limit in icy conditions but have no problem driving one-handed while taking a video with your cell phone? Which by the way is illegal in WA State?
Great classical music!
So annoying, driving under the speed limit on the left lane, this is one of the reasons Seattle traffic is so bad, because you have these slow witted people driving on the roads. MOVER OVER TO THE RIGHT LANE! This guy is a genius! 🤦♀️
how many cars gotta pass you before you move over to the right lane man?
How many did you count?
Well boy oh boy these comments went south after a simple posting of a tunnel lol.
CITAP1, thank you for sharing.
While I like classical music, you did not need it in this video.
Was going to say something then started reading the comments. Seems everyone beat me to it lol. What a well deserved roasting.
Yeah, no stone unturned. LOL
Left Lane is for passing. Cell phone cameras are for using when you're not operating a motor vehicle. I hope you're not a driving instructor.
99% of the comments: Switch to the right lane!
KEEP RIGHT EXCEPT TO PASS...If you were in NJ, you'd be cut off and given the Jersey Bird 200 times during the duration of that tunnel...
Looks nice, never have to worry about snow
I smiled the whole way through your video. The choice of music was perfect and I like the fact you did not overproduce the video. It worked great congrats on a great video.
Glad you liked the music. I had to use it to prevent copyright issues due to the radio. For context of driving conditions, here's the video showing before the tunnel and that night.
ruclips.net/video/Lkhantsj-BQ/видео.html
My two cents: I think they should have spent a bit more to have three lanes in each direction, allowing for extra rush hour traffic, a blocked lane due to an accident or repairs, or traffic increases over the years. Two lanes is more like a city street than a highway. While the design is OK, compared to many tunnels in Europe I've been in, this one is rather plain looking.
looks like about the most bare bones, bare minimum tube slapped together as sloppily as possible. It already looks old and outdated. I hear the smell of exhaust fumes are already building up inside and bothering drivers.
Lotta money for 2 lousy lanes.
Not to mention the time. All the Bertha issues as well. A day late and a buck short as usual.
A two mile stretch with no stoplights or merging traffic in the most congested part of the city. And it will survive quakes far better than the hideously ugly viaduct. For those of us who never go downtown and just want to get south such as to the airport, this tunnel downtown bypass is a godsend. Boston's Big Dig was bigger but cost 5x as much.
Living is eastern wa and helping pay for the thing that I will never see, what a bargain for most of us over here. I hope someday we can leave the spending part of the state and join Idaho, pray for that.@@TheZzzleep...

Lanes are too narrow and Washingtonians don't know how to drive on narrow lanes😂🤣plus I saw too many drivers that don't know how to drive in the snow.
No one cares
I'm Ukrainian heritage too. Never been there.
CITAP1 you should visit Ukraine someday it’s a nice country and people are nice, most I like Kiev city, Lviv city, Kharkov and Odessa. I visit Ukraine every year for two months😊
@Lynette Scribner U.S. is build by immigrants so I have 100% percent right to stay here, but you Lynette need to go back to England where you came from around 1760
@Lynette Scribner And the last American drivers are uneducated that's why there are so many car accidents, when it snows and its icy you dummies think it's perfect to drive fast in snowy icy conditions and tailgate each other. Before buying a car and getting license learn to be perfect driver. In many European countries to get license you need to pay around 1000$, in Germany it's around 2300$, in Ukraine where i born it's around 800$. In USA it's 40$ and you got license 😂😂🤣that's why Americans drive so badly. I already learned to drive in Ukraine when I was 8 years old so it was easy to drive for me in the States now😎
The window wipers with no rain or snow on them hurt my soul
I would thank you for next time using a proper camera and putting your phone away.
Dude you’re being entitled. Move to the right lane so the others can pass you.
A tunnel in an earthquake prone area.....no thank you
Well, if the main tunnel fails (and assuming it didn't fail very specifically on YOUR car) you still have pedestrian tunnels to the sides which should be usable for escape. If it's bad enough an earthquake to cave in the tunnel, imagine being on the viaduct when the whole thing collapses and everyone takes the big fall together...
stayed in left lane all the way. These are the people that need to learn to drive, Left lane is for passing, until you come near a left lane exit. You still stayed in the left lane after you exited the tunnel and was on a the highway. Again left lane is for passing.
ruclips.net/video/NcTD_RXVTy0/видео.html
Here, watch this one.
Dude you’re in fast lane. Move over
Maybe get out of the left lane if your doing under the speed limit...
Eeeooo! You're one of those people who hog the left lane and go 10 mph under the speed limit. Glad you're not in my town.
Weird, the tunnel is just open but the road looks years old.
I love how 99% of these comments are triggered over this guy’s driving 😂
It's not even the driving. It's over comments I made during the video. 40 mph, cars behind me, absorbing, and chill pill. I have a Go Pro version running. Same video without those comments. Nobody is commenting on that video.
2:13 Because you're driving in the left lane. Move to the right!
Why are you in the passing lane? Please review your driving skills. Slower traffic keep right please. Thank you!
Yes there's no point going faster than the posted speed limit when it is icy and there's snow on the street but if it was me going slower even in condition like that i still move to the right. I have plenty people glue to my rear on the left lane and it ain't safe at all. I hope this help. Btw thanks for the tour ;)
I wasn't sure which way to the exit.
Why did you block the left lane forcing people to pass you on the right? You do realize that that is it illegal? Please learn how to drive properly.
Thanks Seattle my old town
Lived U district & fed way
Oh trailer Park next to Fort Lewis
7 months 1993
Missed the snow
So many police on your channel
lol
Fort Lewis, JBLM now, is a daily traffic mess and Fife even worse. The exchange between I-5 and the two Tacoma Narrows bridges is massive. That project seems to have going for 50 years, always something going on there. There is a new 520 floating bridge and talk of a second Mountlake Cut bridge. The city has sunk a lot of money into light rail when they should have built or widened roads and bought buses for less with much greater flexibility. Take care...
@@CITAP1 my partners son ( south African) is moving from Florida to Bellingham this year.
We will buy a camper in USA and tour Canada USA and Mexico when he becomes a breeder with his new wife.
Thanks for advice
Bought ford transit
Past owners just had New cam belt
New CV joints
I will need to get work on minor rust on bodywork whilst I will be vacationing in Australia
@@Kiwionwing Breeder Ha Ha! Love it... That's our travel plan when I retire in just over a year from now. My lovely Fembot is a year older and will keep working till then. Alaska first and Western Canada, then chase 70 degrees South, Then up the Eastern Seaboard and Eastern half of Canada the second year. We'll decide what to do after that then...
@@CITAP1 ha ha wondering what Tracey would say if I call her a fembot
Her USA son is gaming promoter/agent
Think he would laugh
@@Kiwionwing If he knows what a Fembot is. I find a lot of pop cultural references we older folks assume everybody knows are lost on younger generations. I like Bellingham. Seems to be colder and wetter there than Seattle but a pretty area to live.
I feel like 5 years from now this is gonna have 10 million views
I can only imagine. The best comments are yet to come. Take care...
Won't be FREE for long . The going rate is more like 3.00 a mile. ENJOY or take long way and save
You should always stay right unless you need to pass or the right lane is backed up. That is basic driver's ed. In stop-and-go traffic either lane is fine.
At that moment, you were the only one enjoying the tunnel while everyone behind you got annoyed that you're screwing with traffic rules by staying on the left lane. Oh, right! It's actually ok because "ThErE's nO TrAfFiC". Lazy excuse to stay 5 miles below speed limit on the passing lane.
If you were on the right lane, going under would have been ok.
Thanks for sharing this info and your description fully explains what you’re doing.
The upgrade is going to kill the flow of traffic, because drivers don't get the concept of applying throttle on hills. And, those emergency exit markings are ridiculous.
I can guarantee you 45 MPH after a few years in the tunnel will NOT be the speed limit down there without speed traps. It will be more like 60 mph.
It's 60 + now depending on the driver
A tunnel like this is desperately needed in the Los Angeles area where Interstate 5 narrows down to 2 lanes, it could be bypassed with a tunnel at the end of the Long Beach freeway but
it was rejected, apparently a high speed train from Bakersfield to Modesto is more important.
In Los Angeles there is no passing lane as all lanes are seemingly always jammed up.
I thought the train was cancelled a few days ago. I know your freeways at rush hour, forget it. At least the smog isn't like it was in the 80's. That was something!
The complete line from LA to SF was canceled but they are going to finish the segment from Bakersfield to Modesto.
The smog in the 60's was even worst, I would get stinging pains in my chest during gym class outside. The only time you could see the mountains was after a rain or during the Santa Ana winds.
i love these videos! c:
"Speed limit is 45.... I’m just gonna go 40”. Is not slow traffic supposed to stay ond the Right ? .
Get the hell out of the left lane and go the speed limit
They spent BILLIONS of dollars on that, and it is free to access? The same amount of money could have gone much further with transit improvements.
Don't drive slow in the passing land...
Seattle is so tiny...a 2-mile tunnel...HAHAHA
And this alone took years to even get the ball rolling.
If you were doing 5 miles UNDER the limit in the fast lane I would have laid on the horn the whole damn way through that tunnel.
Noticed there were greenish signs to the right with maybe a door between them...what were those?
45 is the speed limit? Motorcycle not allowed in it?
It bothers me that you can't stay on the slow lane. MOVE TO THE RIGHT!
Everyone here comments about he driving on the left side. Im here surprise that this is the longest tunnel in Washington
It has , this year, become illegal to be in the left lane of a freeway except to pass in Oklahoma. I didn't like that at first, but I do now. The law doesn't apply in congested traffic with in city limits.
I am not sure the application of law in this 2 lane tunnel with on and off ramps accessible only by either the left lane or the right lane. People just like to complain I guess. Take care.
Like #666. I hope that isn't bad for anyone today. Nice video. Thanks! I love road trips! Lol... :)
Thanks.
5 miles under in the left lane. You sure that’s not a Prius?
