Crash at Burbank and E. Boyd

Ive driven through that intersection about 10 times since they took the light out. There has almost been an accident 7 of those times. Dumbasses on Burbank coming to a complete stop (with no intention of turning) seem to be the biggest problem.

They need to put the light back and program it so that each direction of Boyd has a green light while the other three directions are faced with a red light. The biggest problem was people trying to turn left onto Burbank and only two or three cars making it through the intersection.

a roundabout there would do wonders.

There was a really bad wreck at that intersection during the miss. st. game.

how many do you think they will have by end of the school year?

Terrible idea by LSU

These crashes say more for lack of driving skills than for intersection layout.

This was in my email:

DOTD to reinstall traffic signal at intersection of East Boyd Drive and Burbank Drive
Tuesday, September 30, 2014
BATON ROUGE, La. – Today, the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development announced that crews will begin work to reinstall the traffic signal at the intersection of East Boyd Drive and Burbank Drive starting tomorrow. The work is expected to take eight working days, at which time, the signal will be reactivated.

The signal was removed in July as part of a project to improve safety and traffic flow on this section of Burbank Drive. DOTD, after careful monitoring and trying different traffic measures to improve this intersection, found it best to revert back to the original configuration.

This is the final piece of a project that was designed to improve safety and traffic flow on Burbank Drive. The following work was also performed during the project, and will stay in place:

Installing a new traffic signal at the intersection of Burbank Drive and West Parker Boulevard including pedestrian signals
Restriping Burbank Drive from a 4-lane roadway to a 5-lane roadway with a center turn lane
Reconstructing the signal at Burbank Drive and Jennifer Jean Drive and adding pedestrian signals
Clearing land at the corner of Burbank Drive and East Boyd Drive to improve sight distance and extending the sidewalk along Burbank
DOTD would like to remind drivers to be alert while driving through this intersection as drivers adjust to the changes.
