Description
Many drivers interpret this as a two lane road and speed as a result. There are no lane demarcations as there are going east in the same location. As resident of this area, I would appreciate creating a median to help calm traffic and make this a more pedestrian friendly area.

Q. What is the damage or issue?
A. Can we get some clarification as to whether or not New Scotland Ave southwest of S Manning Blvd is one lane or two? It's very confusing.

I haven't researched this in depth enough to provide you with concrete figures, J, but I would encourage the city to get traffic and accident counts from CDTC and the APD which could potentially be warrants for traffic calming measures.
As a resident of the neighborhood, I have lost count of the times I have either been almost hit as a driver while turning into my street because people interpret this as a two lane road.
This section of New Scotland Ave is poorly designed and, as a result, people think it's two lanes and subsequently speed and/or tailgate. Improving the design will improve the safety for cars and pedestrians.

There should be a RIGHT TURN ONLY sign right when it goes to two lanes.
