Thank you for contacting City of Huntsville, Traffic Engineering. Which direction is backing up? What time of the day is it occuring?

Agreed that in the mornings when people are on their way to work (7-8AM) & in the afternoon when people are either one their way to pick up kids from school or heading home from work (3-5PM) the turn lane to turn left onto Slaughter from Madison Blvd backs way up into Madison Blvd. While light timing may help, I believe the turning lane also needs to be longer because not enough cars can get in it before the light changes again. It backs up far enough that it causes issues turning right from Zierdt onto Madison Blvd
