Description
The lane striping between lanes on 35 north is poorly placed. it is too far left(west) instead of following the natural curve of the curb line on the right(east). Vehicles in the left lane are forced to make an unnaturally sharp turn following the barrier.
Too often vehicles change lanes here at the last second from the exit lane, and the travel lane is too close due to the poor lane striping.
The lane separator line should be moved right(east) and a hashed line buffer zone painted at the left(west) where the exit lane is and along the barrier.

The report in the media that this project has been a success is way off base... simple human factors and vehicle motion dynamics have not been addressed... The 'NEW' stripping is a hazard.......

Blindly following signage and markings that do not conform to the real world geometry of the roadway and movements of vehicles is ignorant and dangerous. Designs are frequently wrong, Engineers frequently design things contrary to common sense and real world usage and activities. What's the point of this web tool if nothing is done to fix poor designs.
