Wanna take a left towards highland from Winn Dixie/ Canes? Too bad. How about making an easy left to the McDonald's? Tough shite. Why was this needed and what does it help? Whoever the traffic genius is out there that decided they really needed to give their buddy a bullshite contract, I hope you get cancer of the balls. At least BR traffic is finally fixed though

Witnessed many near misses of people leaving Winn Dixie (taking left) through the left turn only off of Burbank.

You're thinking of the old median on Burbank, this is the new one on Lee

Keeps you from blocking traffic behind you to get your fatty on with a Supersized #4 and a diet coke.

The worst design of all-time is the left entrance from Williams Blvd onto I-10 Eastbound in Kenner/Metairie.

People turning into and out of that parking lot fricked traffic up. I’m glad the median is there.

Yeah people trying to make a left turn across multiple lanes of traffic during rush hour always causes problem. This was a good move by the city.

How hard is it however to fix Nicholson and Brightside? I will never go that way again as long as I can help it.

Exactly. It wouldn't piss me off if there weren't a thousand other problems that need the cities attention and limited resources

I remember a plan being posted here many years ago and them saying it was happening. Hard to negotiate with the railroad from what I understand.

This. If only the city could add turning lanes to Nicholson at the Lee/Brightside intersection.

The railroad is holding that up. They are mother frickers to deal with.

Someone bumped a thread last year saying the utilities had been moved.

The thread was 3 years old at the time of the bump.

Is it me or the fact that there is a railroad there...and you want to turn left on to Nicholson from Lee, but those god forsaken pricks do not use their blinker to signify a left turn of their own -- bustling 40 mph down hill -- should we crucify them? Build a prison just for them? Let Rick Vaughan kick the shite out of em? I hate them. They are responsible for the HIV and murder issues in EBR.

People waiting to make lefts out of parking lots as well as waiting to take unprotected left hand turns during rush hour is what causes backups.

You don’t seem to have a very good understanding of the subject.
