Description
Twice within the past month, I've tried to turn left from fifth Avenue onto the Embarcadeo, only to find a car facing me head on. This construction is kind of a mess. Because the old street paint looks like the new street paint when there's a glare. You literally cannot tell what lines are old and new. Trucks are confused, bikers are confused… this construction needs to be moved forward. The street narrowing for construction is a bad situation. Please hurry up and fix this section of the Embarcadero so the road can be opened up properly. That means regaining a turn lane and a bike lane. Thank you! Ps: you can see in that photo where the word STOP is painted on the ground… That's where I almost had the two head on collisions. Traffic now goes the opposite way there!
