说明
For the past several years there has been an issue with the way traffic lights are timed from Cane Ridge Road @ Bell Road all the way to the light at the on-ramp to I-24 West. Weekend afternoons are the worst, as due to this timing issue traffic can back up all the way from the Interstate to entrances of Mission Mill Creek and Cedar Ridge, creating a dangerous hazard for the residents. Traffic timing could easily be improved through a study, but no one seems to care.

Just some more detail, hopefully this will help.
The main issue that I see during heavy traffic - and specifically on Saturday and Sunday afternoon / early evening - is that there are 4 traffic lights one right after another, all within several hundred feet of each other. I understand that the current design of the Interstate Interchange makes changing the layout impossible.
What I find is that when the light at Cane Ridge Rd & Bell Rd. is green for through traffic on Bell, the light on the near-side of the Interstate will be green, but the far side will be red - and traffic cannot move. Or the far side will be green, but the light immediately past that (at Collins Park) will be red, creating a back up. This has become increasingly dangerous as motorists will move into the intersection and block traffic coming off of the Interstate - which can further back traffic up onto the Interstate.
I've actually got diagrams to illustrate this if anyone's curious.

OMG Yes, please fix the lights. It's especially heinous at the two lights just in front of Smitty's Auto Salvage and InnTown Suites.
I don't know how many times those two lights have stopped me for 5 minutes when there were no other cars around.
