Description

At intersection of South Prospect and Main, I was travelling north and had a green arrow for a right turn. I started to turn right, but someone travelling west on Main was taking a left turn, and cut the corner so far to the left, that he almost ran head-on into me, as I was turning right.

Those drivers turning left from Main to South Prospect must go way way to the right, across two lanes to the single southbound lane on the right. He may not have realized that we (northbound) had a green light for a right turn, and so just cut in front of the two northbound lanes.

Seriously, this was almost a head-on collision with both of us accelerating. I use this route a lot, and this happens as lot of the time. Especially when it's dark out.

PLEASE, when you repaint the lane markings -- put in a dotted line showing the path that must be taken turning LEFT onto South Prospect from Main. Give the northbound people turning left (to become east-bound) plenty of room to make our turn.

If you draw a picture of what I describe, you'll understand what I mean.

Thanks for your service to our community!
