Description

Vehicles heading westbound on 8th street, then turning onto Lake St. take this turn at high rates of speed almost always crossing the double yellow line into the oncoming lane. (See image - this car is more than 50% into the oncoming lane.)

By my count, just sitting at the cafe', approx. 80% of vehicles do not stay in their lane heading westbound. This is a hazard for other vehicles (heading eastbound) and for bicycles and pedestrians especially.

Some type of calming solution needs to be employed to slow cars as they approach the turn, or direct the cars into the proper lane. A good place for the small triangle islands, like the ones on Boardman and State?
