Afternoon traffic in that area gives me anxiety when I think about it.

I avoid the intersection. Too much traffic.

I'm confused on what everyone bitching about. Are you not allowed to turn there or something?

quote:

I propose:

Westbound Boyd @ Burbank - Right turn only
Northbound Burbank @ Parker - Right turn only
Eastbound Parker @ Highland - Right turn only
Southbound Highland @ Boyd - Right turn only


Roundabout and these problems are gone.

At the moment:

-coming from Nicholson to Burbank-can only make a right onto Burbank (away from campus)

-coming from Highland to Burbank-can only make a right onto Burbank (towards campus)

So most people leaving campus used to take E Boyd to take a left onto Burbank (away from campus), and most people going to campus used to take E Boyd to make a left onto Burbank (towards campus). Now that everyone is forced to use Parker to complete this action, it has become a lot more hectic. You can also no longer go straight across Burbank on Boyd, thus removing the one road connecting Nicholson to Burbank to Highland.

DOTD reinstating left turns at Boyd and Burbank

quote:

BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) - DOTD is reinstating left turns at the intersection of East Boyd Drive and Burbank Thursday. The signal was permanently removed at that location in July and replaced with a stop sign.

Crews say they have improved the line of sight removing the tree along Burbank Drive. This is just part of a project designed to improve safety and traffic flow in the area.

DOTD is a bunch of dumbasses.

ALL they have to do is make a traffic light with each side having a turn at left, straight or right turn unimpeded by other traffic.

How is a stop sign on a major highway, between two other congested major highways, improve traffic flow?
