Not far from downtown Cleveland's center is a stretch of road that was initially designed to connect lake-side Edgewater Park with other park systems nestled in the city's suburbs. However, the design of a freeway exit ramp onto Cleveland's West Boulevard has turned a slice of the road into a place where cars crash into homes with the frequency of around once every six months, according to reports from local media outlets.

This T-stop I-90 East exit ramp in Cleveland often sees homes damaged by cars that miss the turn or slide through the intersection.

A neighbor reportedly lost three porches, a garage and numerous trees.
