I got caught in that trap a couple of times but lessons being learned, I know better than to be in the right lane if I don't want to hit Corporate.

Is there a sign I missed, or is it that I'm just too concentrated on not hitting another vehicle?


Are you under the impression that if you are in the right lane you have to go to corporate?

College sucks now since they removed a lane to make it a dedicated lane from 10 to corporate. Everything backs up even more.


Biggest issue with College is everything Northbound needs to be in the right lane. To access businesses, to get on 10 EB or WB, to get to Corporate. So the right lane backs up. Then people try to use the left lane to get ahead and cut the line, thus blocking the left lane while they force their way in. Add in like 5 lights in a half mile segment of road and you’ve got yourself a clusterf*** of epic proportions.

I know light synchronization probably is not as simple as it sounds due to its effects on other roadways, but it’s like they don’t even try in BR. It was so ridiculous on Essen that it really looked intentional.

I work on Essen. It’s brutal.
It backs up from Jefferson Highway/Essen.
Make the right turn lane onto Jefferson longer and make the damn green light turning onto Jefferson from Essen twice as long. Eff the people driving down Jefferson. Let the people get off Essen

I would agree with this.

It amazes me how bad the light system is around OLOL.

One light goes green and the next intersection changes to red. There is no flow

The taxpayers have paid millions for traffic synchronization. I see cameras strategically placed at intersections, but I don’t see a smooth traffic pattern.

Cameras don’t mean anything, are there people actually studying our situation, planning ways to adjust the traffic signals, and then watching to see what happens?
