I was surprised to find that the Kansas City Star's recent article on the 'Suicide Curve' [1] (also linked from the topic's article) fails to mention the fact that in Kansas City, Kansas, there is a perfectly good alternative route to the 'Suicide Curve' 1 mile away, built in 1990: Interstate 670 [2]. In fact, both eastbound (in Kansas) [3] and westbound (in Missouri) [4], the leftmost three lanes channel drivers to I-670. In this area, I-670 is a straight-line through route, while I-70 is a meandering mess [5][6].
