Public Works has investigated this issue and no problems were found. Thanks!

Inadequate investigation. I did not make this up and have observed precisely the same thing since.

I don't think the CoR is trying to say that you're "making things up” but instead saying that they investigated and the signal is functioning as intended. Yes, it is indeed a long light but given the amount of traffic coming from the connector (very little) and the amount of traffic on Capital (quite a bit) this is light is doing what it’s supposed to. It allows traffic on Capital to flow as smoothly as possible but also eventually lets you make your turn. And while the traffic on Capital has to stop for you to make whatever turn you’re trying to make, from what I saw when I lived up that way, the green cycle on the connector is very short but adequate for the number of cars turning. It’s also short enough that traffic on Capital doesn’t have to stop for very long and doesn’t back up towards Durant or Gresham Lake. Therefore, while it’s a pain to wait at, it’s doing its job. Just because their investigation didn't yield the results you wanted doesn't make it "inadequate".

Thank you for the more thoughtful response. My apologies for my previous response and presumption of dismissiveness. If I may make a suggestion, noting that traffic from Capital Connector may only turn right, might a flashing orange light for traffic turning left off of Capital on to Capital Connector, even with a longer overall cycle, be a good compromise?

City of Raleigh traffic signal technician monitored the intersection and found no problems at this time. We will continue to monitor and make the necessary changes.

Again, I respectfully disagree. No one should have to wait even 3 minutes for a light to change. What about the flashing yellow/orange arrow idea?

On a minor side street intersection with a major thoroughfare, the traffic signals will always be timed to provide for the most efficient movement of traffic, as described quite well by DBDowntowner above. Our traffic signal crews have monitored the intersection, as reported above. Closing issue in SeeClickFix.

The Public Works has sent another response. They are currently studying locations for flashing yellow arrows. Capital and Durant is not one of them. Capital and Durant in an NCDOT intersection and they do not typically install flashing yellow arrows when there are dual left turns or traffic will be crossing more than two lanes of traffic. We also have consultants studying different corridors throughout Raleigh and Capital Blvd. is one of them. We are trying different timing plans to achieve the most efficient and safe movement of traffic. Thank you for your concern and input in the movement of traffic throughout Raleigh.

Though the response pertains to Capital/Durant where the original suggestion refers to Capital/Capital Connector, I assume the same comments apply. Thank you for the response.
