First of all, I would estimate that 50% or less observe the right turn only law.

No that's not an exaggeration. That's my anecdotal observation

It has been beyond frustrating for those who are following the rules. It's either sheer ignorance (oblivious drivers) or those who disregard the time wasted of others who are waiting on you to do your illegal maneuver.

Well your time has come. Cops pulling people over for going straight or turning left today. My time of vindication!!!!! Frick you terrible drivers

Yeah I see cops there all the time.

I sat on my horn today when some guy was trying to cross Burbank.

I hate bad drivers.

My buddy is a state trooper and I ratted on some people for texting and driving and speeding.
He now patrols this area told me he has been wearing these assholes the frick out.

It's still a clusterfrick. I had to lay on the horn at some dumbass that stopped at the intersection (on Burbank)...and then they brake-checked me. So to that person in the black Ford Edge, you suck.

It's bad. Also saw another wreck happen and the Mellow manager going "another one?!"

Parker between highland and Burbank is miserable now.

And yeah I have even seen cops go straight through at the intersection and not abide by the right turn only. It's very frustrating. I just walk to school now.

I'm confused by the intersection. Is it only right turn allowed? Or is if if you make a turn it's only right, straight still being okay?

And on that note, it's absolutely foolish you can't go straight. I understand the left turn issue.

If they have Boyd right turn only then Parker should be left turn only.

The worst part of this horrid intersection is the fact they left the lights up and did not remove them. For those students who went home for summer and did not get this cluster frick memo, it doesnt look any different than a traffic light that is out. They need to remove the lights completely to remove any doubt or confusion.

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.
