Description
There are two clearly marked turn lanes when making the left onto E Chestnut from Matlack/Gay St. As soon as you turn onto Chestnut the lanes disappear and road narrows (mostly because of parked cars) and there is no indication that you are suppose to merge. Are there two lanes or one? Which side merges into the other? Is one lane a turn lane?
A little paint and a sign would go a long way here. I've seen so many people over the years nearly get into accidents (and fights) over who has the right of way.

If people would excersise a little common courtesy like they were taught in first grade this would not be a problem.

I was wondering the same thing....When I first moved here, I was so confused and could have caused a wreck, just imagine all the out of towners,... you are right, some paint and a sign would be nice

It's actually two lanes throughout but it feels congested because of the parked cars so that's why it often merges into one - most drivers aren't used to being that close to the parked cars on their side, which sets off the disorganized merge. It's a tight fit for sure but it seems to work itself out.
