This is Exit 12 N looking south. This is the north exit to 125th via St. Clair Pl . Exit 12S is currently active. That is the south entrance from St. Clair Pl. Its not obvious but this photo was taken just a bit north of the 119th Street Tennis courts. The tennis courts are more visible at 1:15 in this video.
Closed to vehicles since summer 2025, this two lane exit ramp has been discovered by strollers, joggers, and dog walkers.
Its not intuitive to know where it takes one. Perhaps rather than the foreboding Do Not Enter sign, a place finding sign could be provided.
