Description

I commute on the 27 bus (Shippan). Most evenings on the way back to the Transportation Center, the bus has to wait through several traffic light cycles to get through this intersection because vehicles on Canal St. are blocking the box, often blocking the entire intersection so that none of the westbound vehicles on Canal St. can get through when they have the green light. The police need to stand on the corners of this intersection during evening rush hour and hand out pre-written tickets until drivers get the message and stop blocking the box. It is illegal, but it is not being enforced. This intersection is a chronic mess during evening rush hour because of this poor driver behavior.
