Description

REPEAT REQUEST: This was submitted one year ago. The city stated that the existing lane markings on 49th St NB at Westover were sufficient. I maintain that they are not sufficient because the driver behavior continues. This is not a double-left turn intersection, but a significant amount of drivers treat it that way!!

In my original request, I suggested that a thru lane marking be placed on the pavement. The city responded that the existing markings were sufficient. There is NO MARKING in the right lane to this day to make it clear that it is a thru-only lane. Only the left lane has a left turn arrow marking.

ORIGINAL REQUEST:
Frequently (i'd say 25-50% of the time) when I am at this light turning left from 49th to WH Blvd, the person in the through lane turns left as well, causing near-sideswipes. Perhaps a through arrow lane marking should be installed.
