Description

There's two major problems at the newly constructed intersection that weren't there prior to the "improvements", both related to coming down (west) on Broadway from above the intersection.

1) The signal that allows you to cross the traffic and turn left onto Bbroadway heading south never turns green, so you have to run it to make the turn.

2) While waiting at that intersection (forever, since the light won't turn green), you're extremely vulnerable to cars speeding around the newly created sharp curve, accellerating as they head to the eastbound freeway onramp. I saw several of these vehicles veer into the westbound lane (where I was waiting, and waiting) because the curve is too tight. It's a frightening place to wait (and wait, and wait) for the light, and quite a dangerous spot for the downhill traffic.

These need fixing quickly, before someone's hit head on.
