There's a pretty dangerous left turn by where I live. Rather than people coming out of a shopping center and making a right, going to the light, and U-turning, they try to slingshot across 3 lanes of traffic, a center divider with trees, into a 4th lane. It even has a slight curve, making it even harder to see cars.
I've lived here for 7 years, and the only accidents I've ever seen on this road are at that point. I've no clue why they allow it to be the way it is. There's basically no safe way to make this left turn.
- BitwiseFool 5y agoSounds like the city needs to put in a traffic light. Contact your local representative and ask what can be done.
- frosted-flakes 5y agoOr just forbid left-turns there, and allow for u-turns at the next intersection (like a Michigan left).
- bcrosby95 5y agoIt's already about 150 feet from a traffic light. I'm not sure they need another.
- extropy 5y agoThen perhaps a no left turn sign?
- BitwiseFool 5y agoSuggest the city put up a divider?
- bombcar 5y agoThey do take accidents into account, which is why it's important to report even fender-benders so they can be counted. But until someone dies it's likely to only be changed when they're otherwise redoing the road.
