When waiting at the traffic light which is located at the intersection of Route 110 and Old Country Rd and waiting to make a left turn from 110 southbound onto Old Country Road eastbound where there are 2 left turning lanes, I frequently have seen people for some reason mistake the large shoulder on the left to be another turning lane. I am not sure why they are not able to identify it as the shoulder as it is clearly marked with a solid yellow line but some people still seem oblivious to this. They enter the shoulder and make left turns onto Old Country Rd East. This is extremely dangerous as anyone actually in the real left most turning lane who wants to make a legal U-Turn could wind up driving right into these people who are using the shoulder as a lane. I realized there is a really simple fix for this to make the shoulder idiot-proof. Just have ridges cut into the shoulder similar to the ridges that run along the shoulders of the LIE which vibrate the car when driven over so the person knows for certain that they have entered the shoulder of the road. Problem solved. I hope someone out there of influence will be able to make this happen before someone gets hurt or killed. Thank you.
