Descrição
The light for traffic going northbound (heading towards Crook's Corner) on S Merritt Mill (crossing Franklin) does not stay green for long enough during high traffic times during the week. As there is both oncoming traffic (away from Crook's Corner) and no left turn signal, traffic routinely gets backed up here, leading to only 2-3 cars sometimes being able to turn/cross the street per cycle, followed by a long wait for traffic on Franklin/E Main St.
I would request someone either investigate the addition of a left turn signal, or longer green light for the traffic heading towards Crook's Corner during high traffic times.

The Town of Chapel Hill will review traffic signal operation and performance during the peak hours and determine what timing changes can be made.
Any modification of traffic phasing (adding left arrows) must be reviewed and approved by NCDOT. The Town cannot make major modifications that deviate from the current plans recorded by NCDOT.

The Town added 10 seconds of green time to the Merritt Mill approaches. This allows northbound traffic more time to make left turns after the southbound vehicles pass.
The Town is still reviewing the intersection for performance.
