I could see a lot of confusion if this happened, though I'm not saying it's a bad idea. Left turning lane would turn into the left lane going up the hill, and the right turning lane would turn into the right lane going up the hill.Those heading east and turning right would have to yield or stop. However, around here, people tend to just turn in to the lane they want to be in rather than the one they're supposed to turn in to (and then (legally) move into the one they want to be in). That's why I'm not sure it would work - people would be cutting people off all over the place! If dual lanes were actually created, I'd sure like to be a fly on the wall for the first while!

Love the idea but I don't think P.A. is grown up enough to handle dual left turn lanes. People cant seem to grasp when making a turn to stay in their lane. Just watch west bound traffic make a left turn at 15th St. and 2nd Ave. Turn the corner, cut across all lanes and straight into 7-11. 2nd Ave south both turning East onto 15th, turn the corner and cut straight across all lanes into Tims.

Next issue, not sure if the city even knows how to program their traffic lights. Most trips down 15th St or 2 Ave and you are almost guaranteed to hit 75 percent of the lights red.

I really want this to happen so I can video it and submit that to FHV. I wonder how many accidents would happen in the first hour...

If the city put the proper signs on the top of the lights there would be no confusion.. you people sure are supportive.
