Description
There is no left-hand turn lane into rolling oats when you were headed northbound on MLK. The center lane is a turn lane for southbound. Most people choose to get in the wrong turn lane heading into oncoming traffic in order to turn into rolling oats. The turn lane is long enough to split for both a left turn south bound and a left turn northbound.

The changes to the traffic patterns and markings on Dr ML King Jr St N to which you are referring are part of the first phase of the ‘Complete Streets’ resurfacing project that will ultimately include resurfacing work from 4th to 34th Avenues North, adding bike lanes from 4th to 30th Avenues North, and adding five enhanced pedestrian crosswalks. In order to accommodate bike lanes, one of five motor vehicle lanes will be repurposed. Changes are being made to the center turn lane, as well.
The Complete Streets project will encourage a roadway that is safer and more convenient for all users, including pedestrians, cyclists, motorists, persons with disabilities, users and operators of public transit, seniors, children, and movers of commercial goods.
