Description

I’ve witnessed more than a dozen cars attempt to enter this intersection when the left turn signal turns green. It is placed directly above the center of the straight (not turn) lane making it extremely confusing. Here is an example of someone that accidentally made this mistake this morning: https://youtu.be/kywmCiSepcQ

Please either extend the pole and place the turn arrow above the left turn lane, or change the traffic pattern to allow both turn and straight lanes to go at the same time.

Thanks,
Dan Pastusek
