Description

There have been a lot of good enhancements to the intersection on State Bridge Road at Whole Foods. But "Wrong Way" signs are desperately needed for the right lane (traffic coming from State Bridge Road into the street that runs in front of Whole Foods - not sure why that street has no name). On more than one occasion I have seen drivers turn out of the Whole Foods and inadvertently pull into the lane for incoming traffic. There is something about the landscaped island between the lanes that confuses people. Recently there was a backup of cars in the right lane at the light waiting to turn onto State Bridge Road when 3 cars pulled out of Whole Foods into the incoming traffic lane. As cars were turning from state bridge into Whole Foods they found the lane blocked by those three cars sitting in their lane (the wrong lane) and the 3 drivers appeared to not realize their error until the cars started turning in from State Bridge Road and sounding their horns. The incoming cars had to stop mid-turn which backed up traffic on State Bridge Road and a big issue ensued where the 3 cars who had pulled into the wrong lane in error had to back up out of the wrong lane. And because traffic was already backed up at the light waiting to turn into State Bridge Road it became a huge mess where they had to back all the way down to the second Whole Foods entrance, do a back in turn around, then cross over and turn left to put them in the correct lane for outgoing traffic. I'm surprised there wasn't a crash. I have seen this happen more than once too. people attempt to turn left onto State Bridge Road from Whole Foods and use the wrong lane (the lane for oncoming traffic). I think maybe Wrong Way signs placed there would help. And maybe a painted arrow on the street pointing in the direction of incoming traffic. Thanks!
