We added a new (custom-made!) sign to Westbound Druid Park Lake Dr at Park Circle to ensure the left turn lane is clear.YoYoMoMa t1_je4vly6 wrote
Awesome!
Do you take requests? Can someone put up a left turn only sign on O'Donnell headed west past Conkling (?). There are markings on the road but the amount of times I have almost gotten side swiped by people with no idea that lane isn't going straight is disturbing.

There's a sign request option on the City request site or 311 app.

You get it!

I looked through basically every transportation request option a bit ago when I put in a request that amounted to "please do something about how nobody uses the center lane of Gay St correctly". There's no option for "general shitshow", unfortunately, but there really should be.

The one you're looking for is "Missing sign".

That might be what I ended up with. There are signs, but that doesn't make people read them. It probably needs a more intense traffic engineering scrutiny. But the most southward block was recently repainted with lane guidance to push people toward the curb lane and that seems to have really helped.

We'll take a look; thank you!

You bet! Send us a request using the 311 app, under the Missing Sign category.

There is a left turn only sign there! The right lane has a combined squiggle for straight and right turn. It’s just shitty design and nobody abides by the signage.

There is no left turn sign on the signal line, which I think is the issue. People are looking at the light not the road or the median.

I guess I thought you meant something else? This is what it looks like today
Edit: because it’s the internet I want to clarify that I am not arguing. Just trying to understand what you mean because if we’re talking about the same intersection I also agree that it sucks!

I think the sign must have blown down then. Will double check on my way home today!

If it IS missing, send us a 311 request and we'll get on it!
