I’ve been across that section of 435 a zillion times. It will make you crazy but I haven’t resorted to gun fire.

I've concluded it's best to avoid KC altogether.

The triangle, the 435 east, west, through town, etc., are always crowded.
If I need to get north that far west, I take 54 to 70, then 35 N.
