Description
It was reported that last night several cars drove down the wrong side of the road on CambridgePark Drive to try and bypass traffic. This is a real safety concern for pedestrians and other drivers and needs to be addressed before someone gets seriously hurt.

I have to admit that I have done this. While cars wishing to drive strait across the intersection are blocked there are others wishing to turn left that are held up by all the congestion in front. There is no left turn lane. If no cars are allowed to enter the intersection and the light continues to cycle without movement, what are we to do?
I purposely have to wake at 5am to avoid arrival traffic and try to get out before 4:30pm ahhhhhh. If I'm delayed till 5pm I'm hosed till 7pm. Not good. If you could arrange helicopter services to a remote park and ride that would be great. I have sent a letter to Santa with my request. He asked for your address so he can put coal in your stocking. When you get a moment please send Santa your address.
Thank you.
