I reported this issue April 9, 2014 #14-00094530
The lane markings are not defined well enough at the intersection of Benning Rd at East Capitol St. Traveling north on Benning rd. There are 3 lanes of traffic. There is a left turn lane to go west on East Capitol st and the other 2 lanes proceed north across East Capitol st. However the driver in the middle lane usually cuts off the driver in the far right lane because they don't move over to the far left lane once they cross East Capitol st. There are no directional lines drawn. This has happened to me many times and it has probably happened to others.
Please fix this.

the lines in the road need to be painted and enhanced similar to the paint at 17th St NE going west across Benning Rd NE. The turning lane and the non turning lanes are clearly marked across the intersection on Benning Rd. The same upgraded markings are needed at this intersection.

This is the intersection of 17th St and Benning Rd NE which has a dotted white line across the intersection to direct the 17th St traffic to the correct lanes once they cross Benning Rd. Why can't DC do the same at Benning and East Capitol?

Thank you for submitting your request. The tracking number is 14-00277283. You will receive a separate email when your request has been closed by the servicing agency.

On September 27, 2014 I received an email that this issue was closed. If so if needs to be reopened. The problem has not been resolved.

As of today, I do not believe the street has been painted. It was suppose to be complete on September 17th. If it has been, the upgrade that I'm requesting has not been implemented. Please provide me an update and pictures of the changes. The middle lane drivers are still crossing over and proceeding to the far right lane. Thank you for your assistance. Ericka

Shop orders have been submitted to address issues.

Your comment got cut off. Based on what's here, regardless of the engineers' intent, drivers are not following that intent so some paint is in order.

I am requesting guiding lines and reflectors through the intersection. Also, I am requesting for DDOT to do a night walk-through/ street recording of the street to view the concerns that Mrs. Deborah Jones and I are voicing on behalf of residents. Due to the slope and none guiding lines at the intersection, drivers are not aware that there are three lines through the intersection during the night time. One lane turns left and two lanes go straight. It is unclear for drivers especially at night. Weekly at night, I feel that my family is at risk when we go through this intersection. For example, last night (10/15) and tonight (10/16), I was almost in an accident on each night. At night, drivers from the middle line always merge into the far right lane. Based on the current condition of the street, it appears that the far right and middle lane becomes one lane. This is the reason why drivers believe that they need to merge into the right lane through the intersection. The inspection is not clear at night and I strongly urge that DDOT put upgraded paint, guiding lines and reflectors in this intersection for my family and neighbors' safety. Please review the picture that I have uploaded of Benning Road and Bladensburg Road. This is an example of what I am recommending for Benning Road and East Capitol Road. But, I strongly believe this intersection also need reflectors because it post such an hazard in my community.

Thank you in advance for your assistance with ensuring the safety of my family and community.
