Gridlockers westbound on NY Av may compound the problem, especially in the morning. Between them, the short signal cycle, and the pedestrians, southbound P6 buses often have to muscle their way onto NY Av. Also, traffic turning east onto NY Av/N St or going straight down North Capitol St (thus ACROSS NY Av) may have a clear intersection ahead, which is frustrating if it has to wait for drivers to complete their right turns. This may take a couple of light cycles. Furthermore, southbound 80 buses have to maneuver back into the left lane after stopping for passengers. This is a nightmare if two buses arrive at the same time because they fill up the entire right lane. Drivers fear they'll end up stuck behind not just one, but two buses (which, after all, could be stationary for awhile) and attempt to pass on the left. This delays south/eastbound vehicles further, and makes it difficult for the southbound 80 bus to resume its route. A longer signal cycle and/or a pedestrian only signal would help. And moving the bus stop north a bit might improve things as well.
