Yes. I have left a similar comment, pointing out this problem. I believe that others have, as well. Will this issue actually be looked at by the proper authorities, so that something can be changed? So far, I think that this space is simply a spot for people to point out things to be corrected, but then the ball is dropped. Will anything actually be done?

I don't know why this keeps getting reported when there is no problem. There are two lights for redundancy, just as there are two lights for the middle lane on Central Street with the intersection with Hammond Street.

There are not one, not two, but THREE overhead sets of signs that make it very clear that the left lane is for going straight, the middle lane is for turning right, and the right lane is for turning right.

The number of lights (which is correct in accordance with the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices) isn't the problem. The problem is drivers not paying attention to the THREE sets of signs they encounter.

This has been addressed a few times. There does need to be a left turn at this intersection. Also the no turn on red is being ignored even by the bangor police.

haha, Bangor PD doesn't stop or signal at any intersection.

Ryan,
You might get it, but nobody else does.....therefore, it IS a problem. Why must you continue to deny that there is a problem?

Ryan is joking. You're missing his sly sense of humor. A redundant system may have dual lamps, wiring and control circuitry within the same fixture. Two fixtures = two lanes.

"You might get it, but nobody else does.....therefore, it IS a problem. Why must you continue to deny that there is a problem?"

Judging by the volume of traffic that goes through that intersection compared to how few drivers get "confused" by not paying attention to THREE sets of signs that spell out which lane goes where, most people do get it.

You're never going to have 100 percent of drivers paying attention, no matter what you do.

Special ed thinks you're joking....and I think you're in denial.

The extra light is there to drill it in peoples heads (hello Canada) that you need to go straight, if the light was redundant it would be that way at EVERY stop light in the state, let alone the city.
This had been reported multiple times in multiple cases, the state seems firm that the left turn lane is not needed and if you need Broadway, there is a Broadway exit . So for now you still need to drive through the parking lot and come out the new exit built from the mall to get down to Broadway or do what everyone else does, just turn left and hope you don't get caught, well then again it is Bangor and they lack a bit of daytime patrolling. This was more of the States choice when the ramp was built.
