How to fix a safety issue, by creating a worse traffic issue.
The light at Home Depot was changed to eliminate right on red; GOOD. But, instead of timing the left arrow on the opposite side to go red early and thus allowing traffic in shown direction to go, whoever programmed the light decided to keep the green arrow for the full length of time. This creates a line extending back past Heart's 4 corners. Add on school bus traffic and it's even worse.
I would get to 24 via Steven's Street and 140 north, but the construction created a big safety hazard in the morning because the on-ramp to 140 was shortened. So, when people are flying at 60-80, you have to punch it just not to get rear ended. Worse, if you have to get over two lanes to get in position to go 24 south.
Commuter rail and casino - if ever built - will make this so much worse. I hope whatever is end result of the construction addresses these issues.
