HAH! I took this exit twice last weekend! Really terrifying merge during Saturday afternoon traffic, but it was easy on Sunday morning (as I breathed a sigh of relief that I was leaving Pittsburgh and wouldn't have to do it again). Reminds me of a similar on-ramp onto the BQE in Brooklyn, which is equally if not more congested: https://www.google.com/maps/@40.6899298,-73.9989999,3a,75y,153.38h,81.49t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1szTDqgASdBAx2p-d_4koRhg!2e0!7i16384!8i8192 https://www.google.com/maps/@40.6899298,-73.9989999,3a,75y,1...
The exit off I-376 coming out from the tunnel is also really annoying -- exit, then left turn over a bridge, then you're back on the highway and need to exit, then pick the correct lane to head into Squirrel Hill, but it seems pretty arbitrary, and you may end up making a weird left turn anyway just to get "into" the neighborhood.

Lived in Squirrel Hill for 8 years and got used to it but it's probably the most local-knowledge-dependent driving I've seen in the US. The five-way at the bottom of Murray at Forward is fun too (you want to go straight, but WHICH straight?). When I first moved to Pgh, the street map reminded me of this Mario Kart 64 level: https://mariokart.fandom.com/wiki/Yoshi_Valley https://mariokart.fandom.com/wiki/Yoshi_Valley It was fun but happy to be back on the west coast now :-) Also, glad I've never had to drive in NYC -- that looks tense!
