Kudos to whatever department is responsible for finally improving the West 96th Street exit on the West Side Highway.

Before, getting to 96th Street from the southbound highway required an akward (and unsafe) maneuver whereby you got sort-of-but-not-quite back on the West Side Highway going north for a few yards, and then an exit ramp to 96th.

Now, you can't get directly to 96th Street from the southbound exit. You're forced over to the corner of 95th and Riverside, where you can go straight, north or south. Only northbound-exiting vehicles can get directly to 96th. The minor inconvenience is vastly offset by the elimination of this dangerous intersection.
