I think it's funny that a big reason for taking the light down in the first place was safety. They argued that people turning left onto burbank were causing collisions, so the solution was to eliminate left turns.
So they take out the light and implement right turn only.
Then, they TAKE AWAY the right turn only rule, but do not put the light back up. So now, we have no traffic enforcement at that intersection AND people going straight/taking lefts at an intersection with 5 lanes.

I'm sire IBM will solve this issue along with all other traffic woes we suffer here in Baton Rouge. As I'm sure there was an extensive bidding process and not a favor to pour money at a company that for some reason chose baton rouge.

Meh, in theory it should be safer compared to what used to exist. At least now with the center turn lane, you only needed to make it across 2 lanes of traffic to make a left instead of at least 3. I much prefer it to the old setup, but alas, I'm a good driver.
