Description
This is a request for better lane guidance at this point on 4th St. Perhaps adding those vertical street cones to control entry points. Here is what I witness:
Challenges
1) Cars enter turn lane for 3 different exit points
2) Shared turn lane with south and north traffic. Cars end up head on and in stale mate, often blocking views to see on coming traffic to turn
3) Cars attempting to exit 74th and go South on 4th have to enter into south turn lane for safety, joining traffic from point 1. Basically, they have to monitor 5 scenarios from both north and south bound traffic
4) Cars attempting to u-turn from 4th St South onto 4th St N back up cars wanting to turn left on 74th and those continuing to Emerald Point. Cars entering point 1 have to slam on brakes for these u-turners.
5) Cars attempting to turn left from 4th St South onto 74th back up cars wanting to continue to Emerald Point
6) Cars exiting Emerald Point usually coming out fast and often into far left lane of 4th St N, adding to the cluster at 74th and 4th.
