Description

Three lanes exit the Shady Grove parking areas and merge into two on the garage side...
One (the right) lane exits directly onto Redland Road at the light. Many people queue into two lanes there as a courtesy even though the exit was designed for one lane. Issue #1 is that curb demolition is needed along with repaving and repainting the lines to allow two lanes at the exit. That would improve traffic flow and reduce the backup at the light. The backup impedes exit onto Redland Extension when volume is high. That leads to Issue #2 which is the exit at Redland Extension. This exit that was recently upgraded with a pedestrian light. Two left lanes merge into one two exit here. Originally this exit was designed for two lanes to turn left but the road was restriped to force a merger prior to the turn. Many people stay in the middle lane and jump the queue waiting to make the left. This is very unfair to the patient drivers in the queue. This lane should be re-signed so that the middle lane is designated RIGHT TURN ONLY (onto Redlands Road). That would hopefully retard the line jumpers..
