Description

A No Turn On Red sign is needed to clarify that left turns on red are not legal at this intersection. (W 29th St has a contra-flow bike lane, making it not a complete one-way street. Left turn on red from a 2-way to a 1-way is illegal.) I frequently see the 18 bus make this left turn, and I worry that this could endanger cyclists attempting to turn off Blaisdell onto the contra-flow bike lane.
