Description

This intersection is absolutely maddening Recently the stoplights must have been redone, and it only made this intersection worse, not better

In two directions (east/west), there is a dedicated left turn arrow, but no dedicated left turn lane This causes people going straight from the left lane to get honked at and it causes drivers behind them to miss the opportunity to turn left. This is not the fault of the driver in the left lane though, since this is also a straight lane, but people act and expect it to operate like a dedicated left The light used to give a green left and green straight in one direction at a time, which helped move cars through Now we have entire left turn arrow cycles where not a single car gets through, but people honk and get angry

The other direction (northbound) has no dedicated left turn arrow, but it has its own dedicated left turn lane! Everything is backwards Please see the picture I posted where a truck is traveling northbound through the intersection attempting to turn left, and is forced to do so after their light has long turned red (but don't worry, the left arrow eastbound has occurred, and people are honking!)

Please send a human out to observe this intersection during rush hour, and they will see how poorly designed it is
