Description
The inner lanes on both directions of Main Street should be turning lanes. It is nearly impossible to turn on a green light as there is always traffic coming from both directions.
The traffic signal should be turns first so that cars can freely turn onto Townsend Ave and then turn red so the green can allow for cars to go straight.
The lane to continue up Main Street turns into a single lane anyway, so it would not hurt to make the inner lanes strictly turn lanes at that intersection.
I get off exit 50 everyday after work and sometimes have to sit through 2-3 green lights before I am able to make that left turn onto Townsend Ave. It is a dangerous turn too since the opposite lane is usually trying to turn and we cannot see around each others cars.
This will also cut down on the amount of backed up traffic at this intersection due to only 1-2 cars getting the opportunity to turn per green light.
