Description

I've noticed this every time I've driven New Hampshire northbound through Washington Circle: circle traffic at 23d on the south of the circle is stopped by a light and backs up all the way to/past the New Hampshire intersection. Without some very aggressive and seemingly illegal maneuvers, northbound traffic on New Hampshire winds up limited to maybe one car being able to enter the circle for every two light cycles. The problem would probably clear if the circle's light at 23d stayed green about five seconds longer, after the circle's light at New Hampshire goes red, to allow the circle to clear before New Hampshire traffic is allowed in.
