Description
Currently, the high volume of vehicles attempting to turn left is exceeding the capacity of the single dedicated left-turn lane, leading to significant congestion and hazardous driving behaviors. Primary Concerns: • Traffic Congestion: During peak hours, the left-turn queue consistently overflows into the through-traffic lanes, creating a bottleneck. • Illegal Maneuvers: Due to the long wait times, motorists frequently use the middle "through" lane to make illegal left turns.
