It is not "cutting through" when one lives in that neighborhood, as I do. This neighborhood I'd shady a maze of one way streets, and there are a limited number of ways to get up to Prospect Hill. By removing this left turn, people living on or behind Hamlet will have to go through at least two more lights and drive several blocks.

The reason for the back up is two fold. One, too many people don't use turning signals. Secondly, people are in a fog and don't allow themselves enough room to simply pass on the right a car making a left turn there, and there is plenty of room to do so.

I agree with Dave. This is a stupid idea and will not help anything. How about a sign with arrows pointing tot he left and straight ahead so people understand the possibility of cars turning left is imminently possible? That seems to be more the issue. I've done it myself, just been too close to the car in front of me when they were making the left. Otherwise I could have just gone around them.

Wow. Thanks neighbors. I value your opinions too.

Thank you for the request, it was sent to the city traffic engineer for review. After an on-site review, it was his determination that a No Left Turn sign (with specific time restrictions) can not be installed at this location.
