Description
For drivers, this turn is blind. Drivers coming from both directions come in too fast, as there is nothing to cause them to drive slowly, and they often end up partially or completely driving their car to the opposite flow of traffic and nearly-missing head-on traffic. This problem is compounded by delivery trucks using the intersection as loading zone, further blocking the intersection’s field of view.
