So then there would be three lights in a row, 1) W. Parker, 2)E. Boyd, 3) Jennifer Jean, with the light at E.Boyd cycling 4 ways? That would slow down traffic on Burbank incredibly. They MIGHT be able to time the lights right where it wouldn't slow down Burbank traffic, but that hasn't worked well in other places with multiple lights in a short distance (College Dr, Siegen Ln.).
that is why a roundabout there would work wonders.

The biggest problem I saw before the addition of the turn lane & removal of the light was multiple accidents happening when people turned left from Burbank onto E.Boyd and were hit by a car going down Burbank. (Most of the time this happened when 2 opposing cars were turning left, and someone passed the stopped turning car.)
they could also just put the light back up and like someone said have it to where only one direction goes at a time. Synchronize the 3 lights so the traffic flows together.

That would be 3 lights in about 850 feet. That's just unnecessary. If people would just obey the controls there, it would work fine. However, these same people need to understand that the flow on Burbank is what is important, not people coming from Boyd.

The current problems are way worse than it was before. You can sit here and say it should work and blame it on dumb drivers but all of that should have been taken into account before.
Its like having an emergency evacuation plan where everyone is told to stay calm and follow orders, but we know people will freak out and shove old ladies over to save themselves. Whoever decided to change this intersection should have known this was going to happen like the rest of us, but apparently they just said "frick it".
