Description

Accessing the Polyclinic parking lot on the north side of their building really mucks things up here. The problem seems to be North bound cars turning left (or west) across the south bound lanes of Meridian, as well as having cars exiting that same parking lot.

The intersection stop lights are pretty quick. People in the south bound lanes are confused in how to handle the people using the polyclinic, and so often yield the right of way.

The effect is that only a few cars make it through the intersection (south bound) which is toward North Seattle Community College. About 15 minutes before each morning hour (when classes start) meridian can back up all the way to N 115th st. Lots of cars become impatient and drive aggressively here, sometimes running the red light so that they can continue on their way, either south on meridian, or east towards I-5 on Northgate way.

My suggestions 1) is for the Polyclinic to direct their customers to using their garage entrance (free to the public) which can be accessed from N. Northgate way, just west of Meridian; 2) extend the length of the intersection lights, or 3), prevent north bound drivers on Meridian to turning left into the polyclinic.
