PSA: Bay Bridge S-Curve Should Be Called Bay Bridge Chicane

This morning, KTVU's Kraig Debro described the Bay Bridge S-curve as "Grand Prix-like curves". To which I thought: Why not just call it a chicane?

Merriam-Webster's definition of chicane: a series of tight turns in opposite directions in an otherwise straight stretch of a road-racing course.

Maybe if we call it a chicane, people will take it more seriously. "S-curve" sounds easy. "Chicane" sounds challenging and potentially dangerous.
